Keep Rolling, Chew

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Chew is fifty-five with a grin like a Sunday sun Keeps a battered red jacket for the places he has run He knows every back road from the mill town to the sea And when the whole world rushes past, he takes his time to see [Pre-Chorus] Some folks count the years Some folks count the miles Chew just keeps a pocketful Of reasons left to smile [Chorus] Hey Chew, keep rolling on You’ve got a heart that won’t stay gone Hey Chew, let the old road choose There’s still a lot of life in you [Verse 2] He fixes up a radio that only plays one song Says the singer may be gone by now, but the feeling carries on At the diner by the courthouse, he tips his hat and laughs Says a good day isn’t measured by the trouble in the past [Pre-Chorus] He doesn’t need a map He doesn’t need a crown When the door comes closing in He finds another way around [Chorus] Hey Chew, keep rolling on You’ve got a heart that won’t stay gone Hey Chew, let the old road choose There’s still a lot of life in you [Bridge] If the rain comes down, he’ll wait it out If the lights burn low, he’ll sing out loud Every scar is just a story that he carries through And every morning opens wide For a man who still knows what to do [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Hey Chew, keep rolling on You’ve got a heart that won’t stay gone Hey Chew, raise your glass and choose There’s still a lot of life in you Hey Chew, when the night turns blue The whole wide road is waiting for you [Outro] Keep rolling, Chew Keep rolling, Chew
