Roll Me Out Songtext
von Butch Walker

What′s that bottle you got hidin', Frank
Between the Maker′s and Jack?
Can you do me a solid and pour a taste
To bring the memories back?
Of a younger man from a different time
When time was all he had
Before his own brother shot him down

Twenty-two years ago today
I came back from the dead
The homecoming was short and sweet
I remember how it read
It said the war was over
But the battle in me began
Put it on my tab
Please help roll me out


Roll me out into a world that made a monster out of me
Roll me out into a road I used to walk with my own feet
Where I'll stare at eyes of strangers
And then never look back and see
A light as bright as this daylight
Come on, roll me out

I swear I've said a million times
While chokin′ down these pills
"If life don′t change at all for me
I'll change it at my will"
And I never feel a shiver
From this girl′s hand on my knee
At least maybe she can roll me out

Roll me out into the nighttime
I'll smoke whatever you got
Roll me out, but don′t feel sorry
At least my memory wasn't shot
I didn′t leave the glass half-empty
No, I drank every drop
In my mind, I'm still standin'
Come on, roll me out


At best, they′ll name a park bench
In my honor when I′m done
I hope I'm buried with my mama′s picture and my gun
They're the only friends that talk to me
In my darkest time
Like darkness when they lower me down

Lower me down and talk about
When I was young and fun and wild
Lower me down and know I never hurt
A woman or a child
Please remember I was just like you
And still knew how to smile
Forget you ever had
To ever roll me out
