 Am
Yeah well no one really understands,

  
 C
A shopping cart is filled with cans,

      
 G              
 Am                
 C
And a top hat, and a snare drum, and a horn.

      
 G               
 Am
And a poster and some magazines,

        
 C
With my picture, and some magic beans,

      
 G               
 Am

And a blanket, that I got, when I was born.

Different people do the same things everyday,

I just look the other way,

      
 D riff
But I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...


 D riff

I deny a problem with my attitude,

           
 C
Cuz I will work for food,

       
 D riff
Yeah I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...


VERSE 2

I wasn't always pararnoid,
Sang a song on Uncle Floyd,
But the records, never sold, and that was bad.
And my Mommy still took care of me,
Till I was almost thirty-three
Now she's gone up to heaven, to see Dad.

CHORUS 2

Sheriffs came with pistols and their starry sleeves,
Gimme thirty days to leave,
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...


 D riff                        
 Am
No one wants to pay me for my broken heart,

             
 C
So now I've got this shopping cart,

      
 D riff
And I keep on rollin', I keep on rollin'...


 G            
 Am             
 C
On.....


 G               
 Am

On, and on, and on, and on, and on.....

Different people do the same things everyday,
I just look the other way,

I can't live without eternal gratitude,
