Rollin With The Punches Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Lord, I've been talkin' when I should have listened 

Listening when I should have spoke 

Lighting a match to old memories 

Sending them all up in smoke 

Singing with no one to hear me 

Fighting my way to the top 

Rolling with all of the punches 

Wondering if they'd ever stop 

Tearing down walls built in prison 

Building up dreams that wont last 

Finding the bridges I'm burning 

Harder to hide than the past 

Making the future look brighter 

Fighting my way to the top 

Rolling with all of the punches 

Wondering if they'd ever stop 

Laughing at jokes that aren't funny 

Blaming it all on the blues 

Taking my chances for freedom 

Betting with nothing to lose 

Winning on nothing but hunches 

Fighting my way to the top 

Rolling with all of the punches 

Wondering if they'd ever stop 

Rolling with all of the punches 

Lord, how I wish they would stop
