[Arrangement: Upbeat piano-rock with a rolling bass line, Hammond organ, handclaps, acoustic guitar, and driving drums. A loose riverboat groove that builds into a big, celebratory chorus.]
[Intro]
Here we go!
(Whoa, oh, oh)
Down the line!
(Faster than divine)
Water moving
All the time
Catch the current
(In the present)
Let it roll!
(Roll, roll, roll)
[Verse 1]
There’s a current underneath us
It’s present… are you aware
Drips drop on a journey
Moving here and moving there
[Pre-Chorus]
(Don’t fight the flow)
You can’t stop the river
(You already know)
[Refrain]
Let ‘er roll!
(Rolling down the river)
Roll, baby, roll
(The thrill will deliver)
[Verse 2]
Rain comes down upon the watersheds
Reign comes down upon our heads
Pebbles, sand and clay
Will make their way
[Chorus]
Let ‘er roll!
(Rolling down the river)
Roll, baby, roll
(The thrill will deliver)
Round the bend
(Energy send!)
Down the way
(Into yesterday!)
Let ‘er roll!
(Let ‘er roll!)
Can’t fight the tide
(Better step aside!)
… or go along for the ride
[Bridge]
Where’s it going?
You know:
(Down below!)
Down low
(Go, go, go)
[Breakdown]
Roll!
(Roll!)
Roll!
(Roll!)
Down the river
See the sea!
[Instrumental]
[Piano rolls]
[Hammond organ swells]
[Drums and bass lock into a rolling groove]
[Final Refrain]
Let ‘er roll!
(Rolling down the river)
Roll, baby, roll
(The thrill will deliver)
Let ‘er roll!
(Let ‘er roll!)
Let ‘er flow!
(Let ‘er flow!)
Down the river…
To the sea!
[Outro]
Roll…
(Roll…)
Baby, roll…
(Rolling down the river…)
Let ‘er roll!
(Hope? … a sliver)
