Roll With The Flow Lyrics - Singles - Michael Nesmith

She was a lackluster lover 

Who thought of another 

When I offered her my hand 

To help her in out of the rain 

Then she became quite possessive 

When I gave her the message 

That I had to leave 

On the outbound ten o'clock train 

She said I thought you were stable 

And that I might be able 

To talk you into sticking around 

For a couple of years 

I said I roll with the flow 

Wherever it goes and it's rolling out of here 

There was this didactic minister 

Who told me of sinister things 

Which would happen 

If I were to do something wrong 

He spoke at length about brimstone 

And lives that were based on 

Belief that the bad and the good 

Were equally strong 

That's why I think I undid him 

When I started to kid him 

Cause he said if you'll give me some time 

I'll make it quite clear 

I said I roll with the flow 

Wherever it goes and it's rolling out of here 

Now those are two fine examples 

Of the way that I handled 

The pressure that tried to draw me away from the light 

And in the final analysis 

It's foolish if you resist 

The changes that come into your everyday life 

There might be some trepidation 

But don't let hesitation 

Deprive you of hope and try to replace it with fear 

Just roll with the flow 

Wherever it goes 

Even if it rolls outta here 

You just roll with the flow 

Wherever it goes 

Even if it rolls outta here 

Just roll with the flow 

Wherever it goes 

Even if it rolls outta here
