To be walking down
Bare feet on the stone ground
It's a long ride
Across fifty states
Kicking the dust that God made
Sowing seeds on a mine field
Making the best of a bad deal
From the cradle way down to the end of time
It's down to you

Chorus:
You'd better roll with it
You'd better go with it
You'd better roll with it
Way down the big road blue
Way down the big road blue
Way down the big road blue
Big road blue
Big road blue

Back in the city
The streets are cold
It takes a heart of steel to mine a nickel of gold
You hit a brick wall
You could have run
But now you're facing up to a machine gun
Beat it down the avenue
Keep running right on to the only thing that's going to get you through
The road ahead's going to rise to you

Chorus
