Roll Big River (2021 Version)

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 drove it off the block

But they're right back ain't missed a beat

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 fighting I ain't inviting

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 night and day

Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
