Roll Big River Songtext
von Mike Maimone

Roll big river, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be ok

They shook Billy down on his first night in town
And Dan got jumped behind Jewel
They took all that Joe owned, but they left his trombone
Now he′s right back playing the blues
Well, Gen and Marc, they had to park
Their trailer on the side of the street
Someone busted off the lock and they drove it off the block
But they're right back ain′t missed a beat

They just roll big river, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be ok


My band broke up, and damn I was stuck
Beat down without no choice
But to pack up and move, get a new point of view
I got right down finding my voice
I dropped in on some friends back in South Bend
A bangin' rhythm section of pros
Instead of laying down tracks, broken glass
I lost everything even my clothes

But I just roll big river, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be ok

Just 'cause I ain′t mentioned fightin′, I ain't invitin′
You to pull one over on me
We carry bats and chains now, we'll beat out your brains now
Had enough turning the other cheek
It′s happened so many times, can't get it off my mind
What exactly I′m gonna do
Just a little bit of torture before I report you
Send you off with the boys in blue

Now you can roll big river, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be ok
Roll big river, rolling all day and night
Roll big river and everything gonna be fine
Singin' everything gon' be fine
