I was young just a kid Lived true stories never fibbed Riverbank Friday night God almighty hold me tight Skip the law can't be found Ride around all over town Hit the dirt kick the can Mess around and start up a band Time rolls on It's the same ol' song They told me I should stay in school I quit but I ain't no fool Cut my path either way No matter what they had to say Might be right could be wrong Even with my boots put on Tried my best to make a scene 'Til I had a damn nuff of me Time rolls on It's the same ol' song From the East to the West Had to get it off my chest Searching never bothered me Like a river to the sea Hard to find the ebb and flow Friends will get you high and low God is good God is great Sometimes I just can't hardly wait Time rolls on It's the same ol' song Time rolls on It's the same ol' song Well time rolls on It's the same ol' song
