Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Rewind the clock, we were, ridin' a wave
Of Oz rock, we were, b-barely of age
To take charge, or pack our guitars for the long flight
Should we write
No cash or plan, we were, criss-crossing the states
In some van, we were c-c-cooking our beans
On the block while the motor was hot
Something's got to blow, let's get to the show
Give us half an inch,
We'll be tackin'on a mile
Give us a half stage,
We'll start up a rampage
Put on your back pack
Throw out your road map,
God'll use anything
Check it and see
He's given us more than we ever could ask for
That's the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free
That's the way we roll, 'cause we've been set free
Reset the stage, we were, out rattling the cage
With each show, we were
Out hawkin' them shirts
For more lights
To shine hit the brights
And we saw your faces
And we got new basses
Good in the lane, we were
Spinning our drums
Like a tire
We were, blowing up the domes
From a pile, it worked for awhile
It just didn't rise
We apologize
All we got to give is a God-given drive
It keeps us movin'
It keeps on groovin'
Put on your back pack
Throw out your road map,
God'll use anything
Check it and see
He's given us more than we ever could ask for
That's the way we roll, cause we've been set free
That's the way we roll, cause we've been set free
......
Starting up
We'll lighten up the load at the
Startin' gate, we'll
Lighten up the load to a partin' date
We'll light up the road
C'mon, kiss your mamma goodbye
We got to fly
Put on your back pack
Throw out your road map
God'll use anything
Check it and see
He's givin' us more than we ever could ask for
That's the way you roll when you've been set free
....
Put on your back pack
Throw out your road map
God'll use anything
Check it and see
He's givin' us more than we ever could ask for
That's the way we roll cause we've been set free
That's the way we roll cause we've been set free
That's the way we roll cause we've been set free
