I'm on a Roll
I’m on a roll
No other song in my catalog makes me smile more. The organic nature of how it came together and got recorded, the luck of having such talented friends gathered with a willingness to groove that 1940 jazz style. an experience I treasure every time I hear it.
Lyrics
I’m on a roll
When the sun comes up I’ll have to go
but for tonight I’m on a roll
Lights from the bar
casting shadows on broken hearts
The strum of a guitar
fat cats in the corner all smoking cigars
Look at me rolling sevens
live in hell or die in heaven
when the sun comes up I’ll have to go
but for tonight I’m on a roll
Lady luck
is a girl in a red dress with a little more to love
The one I left at home
by now she’s packed up and gone
Regrets I know I will
they come in the morning
tonight there’s time to kill
When the sun comes up I’ll have to go
but for tonight I’m on a roll
Regrets I know I will
they come in the morning tonight there’s time to kill
When the sun comes up I’ll have to go
for tonight I’m on a roll
