Roll With The Punches

[Kel]

[VERSE1]

Huddled on a park bench

Relentless Autumn wind,

Overhead, just leaden skies with

Dark clouds closing in.

Seven nights of searching

For a reason just to live 

Too many days no work, no food

Meant something had to give...

 

[VERSE 2]

Through manicured hedges

Braced against the morning chill

An old man, in a wheelchair sat

Staring up the hill.

I hobbled over said, "Sir,

Do you need a hand?"

He looked at me through gritted teeth

Said, "Boy, just understand...." 

 

[CHORUS]

I gotta ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

Ev'ry day is a new challenge

Don't ever let it show

I don't get no free lunches, and

All I need to know,

Gotta, ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

 

I thought the guy was crazy

So I left him to his drill.

Sat back down, to my surprise he

Tamed that blasted hill.

Right then he called me over

And he grinned as I arrived,

He put his callused hand upon my chest

And gave me this advice...

 

[CHORUS]

You gotta ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

Ev'ry day is a new challenge

Don't ever let it show

You don't get no free lunches, and

All you need to know, 

Gotta, ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

 

[bRIDGE]

I never knew the man's name,

Never saw his face again,

He came right when I needed him,

And made me understand...

 

[CHORUS]

I gotta ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

Ev'ry day is a new challenge

Don't ever let it show

I don't get no free lunches, and

All I need to know, 

Gotta, ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow

 

Ro-ll with the punches

Go with the flow
