|
From begging men |
|
To your father's friend |
|
To that cop who pulled me over on Beverly Glen |
|
I've had a famous man |
|
On his fire escape |
|
And countless dinner dates |
|
And a warm bed, well that's something |
|
But that alone just ain't enough |
|
So I roll on, roll on |
|
But it's just no fun |
|
When your heart belongs to a son of a gun |
|
A shooting rifle, a firing range |
|
I'm pistol-whipped, I'll never be the same |
|
But I love him, yes I do |
|
And he's gonna do what he's gonna do |
|
He'll roll on, roll on |
|
When I knocked you down, you called my bluff |
|
You pushed me over, fair enough |
|
In high schools, hospitals, on holidays |
|
I've seen your face in every goddamn state |
|
My overdose, you were almost too late |
|
You said it aged you when you saw my face |
|
And a warm bed, well that was something |
|
And history's horse keeps on thumping |
|
And it rolls on, rolls on |
|
And it's just no fun |
|
When you hate the person that you've become |
|
Bitter, lonely, and isolated, before I know it I'll be an old maid |
|
But I love love, yes I do |
|
Even when its weight cripples you |
|
It rolls on, rolls on |
|
I never loved that other man |
|
He's a fairy tale that I can't have |
|
Now I know how a fairy tale feels |
|
You wanna marry me, you say that I'm the real deal |
|
And I just don't know how I got stuck |
|
Guess there's muscle memory for love |
|
And if you try hard enough |
|
You might once again call my bluff |
|
Or you can roll on, roll on |
|
But it's just no fun |
|
When your happiness is on the run |
|
Jumping hurdles in life's 10k, |
|
It's a marathon and love's too late |
|
But a warm bed is as good as it gets |
|
Let's settle down and have a couple of kids |
|
And do like your parents did, |
|
Or we can roll on, roll on, roll on |
