Roll with the Flow - 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
