Is there any reason to begin at all Spending all your time now Just waiting for the fall I've been feeling so down, Such a long, long time... Better roll on, Gotta roll on, Baby roll on Can't believe tomorrow you'll be far away Looking back's not easy on a thousand yesterdays You've been saying no now Such a long, long time... Better roll on, Gotta roll on, Baby roll on Better roll on, Gotta roll on, Baby roll on, Can't find the reason left to love you, Not after all that we've been through I can't believe you'd even take the time to cry Just a little late now but then that's you and I... Never saw a sunrise That you couldn't beat Never knew a love affair Could be so incomplete Can't find a reason To stay this time... Better roll on, Gotta roll on, Baby roll on Roll on
ROLL ON... Rocky Mountain mambo with some great stacked flutes from Joe Vitale... The flutes were a last minute idea and Joe was back in Ohio... We sent him a plane ticket.. He cashed it in, got himself a rental car, taped newspapers over all the side windows and drove straight (?) from Canton, Ohio to Netherland, Colorado... The car pulled up, Joe got out in his platform shoes and leopard jacket and said "Hi, I've got to go to the bathroom, then let's record"...Ah, the good old days!...
