On a Roll

ON A ROLL
I woke up this morning the sun was shining
I went, my past in hand behind me
And no more sorrow

Hey
I'm on a roll

I'm on a roll

I'm on a roll
I'm on a good roll
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
Roll roll roll

(yeah)
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
I'm on a good roll

Like a flower grown
Gentle as he'd ever known
Scheherazade bewitched him
With so
