What happened to the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted?
lyrics
Hold on, change is coming soon
Only when you least expect it to
Where I come from, we've got different views
Fooled me, thought we had it made
Feel that golden sunshine on your face
Where we come from, we move different ways
The game was only meant to entertain
Or is there more than meets the eye
Well, save your opinion, honey, how can you win it
If you sit here and never try
So go open the door and show 'em all why
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll right out the door
Let her fall, let her fall, let her fall right through the floor
Let him sink like a stone; to the promised land we go
When they turn their gold to greed it's yours to lose
Fooled me, thought we might escape
Can you feel that golden sunshine on your face
Where we come from, we move different ways
The game was only meant to entertain
And I've got nothing left to say
Such a simple illusion designed to confuse 'em
I'm sure there'll be hell to pay
So go open the door and show 'em all the way
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll right out the door
Let her fall, let her fall, let her fall right through the floor
Let him sink like a stone; to the promised land we go
When they turn their gold to greed it's yours to lose
Well, his momma's angry
And her daddy cries
Fold 'em, take 'em away
We all get blue, or we fly to the moon
Remember it's never too late to choose
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll right out the door
Let her fall, let her fall, let her fall right through the floor
Let him sink like a stone; to the promised land we go
When they turn their gold to greed it's yours to lose
