Rollin' with the Punches

dedicated to bob dylan: i never thought it'd be easy bob! lord, i've been talkin when i should have listened listening when i should have spoke lighting a match to old memories sending them all up in smoke singing with no one to hear me fighting my way to the top rolling with all of the punches wondering if they'd ever stop tearing down walls built in prison building up dreams that wont last finding the bridges im burning harder to hide than the past making the future look brighter fighting my way to the top rolling with all of the punches wondering if they'd ever stop laughing at jokes that aren't funny blaming it all on the blues taking my chances for freedom betting with nothing to lose winning on nothing but hunches fighting my way to the top rolling with all of the punches wondering if they'd ever stop rolling with all of the punches lord; how i wish they would stop!
