B A# G#
On the sidewalk
B A# G#
the shitty sidewalk
B A# F#           E      D         C
I guess i'm glad rolling off of my feet

On the sidewalk
The shitty sidewalk
Some noisy guy is saying something to me

Yeah

I roll a straight line
On the bus line
Make it behind a painted line

Over train tracks
Over beer cans
Over blacktop soft beneath the sun

By the buildings
Now the liquor store
I'm going inside, gonna get me a coke

It's end of work time
Down at the liquor store
Guys cashing their checks trying to buy coke
Yeah

On the sidewalk
The shitty sidewalk
Guess I'm glad I'm rolling off of my feet

Yeah
Oh

A#           Gm
it's almost night
A#          F
and i just might
Gm             C                F  A
head to the strand down by the sea

Down at the edge, oh
Edge of the world, oh
That's where I really want to be

A#           Gm
and if i'm broke
A#           F
then i will cope

Gm             C                  F A
just rolling around is fine with me
A#             C                  F Gm
just rolling around is fine with me
A#             C                  Gm Bm
just rolling around is fine with me
