[Intro]
\n[Instrumental: Driving Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Drums]
\n[Car Engine Starts]
\n[Window Motor Sound]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nSome people read reports.
\nSome people watch the news.
\nSometimes…
\nI just roll it down
\n(Rollin’ town)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe sunlight hit the pavement
\n(A warm familiar glow)
\nI turned onto the highway
\n(To see what I could know)<\/p>\n

The world’s a moving classroom
\n(If you’re willing to look around)
\nSo I rolled down the window
\n(To hear the living sound)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nOne street
\n(One town)
\nOne glance
\n(Looking around)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI’m rolling down
\n(My window)
\nDriving around town
\n(For the info.)
\nWatching life unfold
\n(In the flow)
\nI’m rolling down
\n(My window)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nRolling down
\n(Down, down, down)
\nYou know…
\n(The window!)
\nHere we go!<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe spirit was running high
\n(A change caught by my eye)
\nA thousand tiny stories
\n(Visible in the light)
\nShining in delight
\n(Insight to incite)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI’m rolling down
\n(My window)
\nDriving around town
\n(For the info.)<\/p>\n

The world keeps singing our song
\n(If we listen so)
\nSing along!
\n(Yes, we know)
\nWe’re rolling down
\n(Our window)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nRolling down
\n(Down, down, down)
\nYou know…
\n(The window!)
\nHere we go!<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n[Music Drops to Bass and Organ]
\nObservation starts with attention
\nAttention starts with curiosity
\nCuriosity starts with a question
\nAnd questions start
\n(A lovin’ heart)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental Break]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Organ Swell]
\n[Driving Drum Groove]<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nI’m rolling down
\n(My window)
\nDriving around town
\n(For the info.)<\/p>\n

Not looking for conclusions
\n(Just something true)
\nI’m rolling down
\n(My window)
\nWatching all the little clues
\n(Come into view)<\/p>\n

[Extended Refrain]
\nRolling down
\n(Down, down, down)
\nYou know…
\n(The window!)
\nHere we go!
\nRolling down
\n(Down, down, down)
\nThe world’s still talking
\n(If we listen now)
\n[Outro]
\n[Engine Fades]
\n[Wind Sound]
\n[Acoustic Guitar]
\nSometimes the best data set…
\n(You’ll never forget…)
\nis right outside the window.
\n[Fade Out]
\nRolling down…
\nRolling down…
\n(Down, down, down)<\/p>\n
