Janis Ian - Get Ready To Roll lyrics
[Janis Ian - Get Ready To Roll lyrics]
Play it low in the pocket
Something's just gotta break
You've been waiting so long for success
It's a shame it's gonna come too late
Baby, fly like a rocket
Shoot it out in stages from the mother ship
It's too bad you gotta lose what you had
And when you cruise you gotta
Shoot it from the hip
Or you give 'em all the slip
And it's too bad
Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue
Ooh, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody's lost control
Get ready to roll get ready to roll
Play it high on the hip
Something's just got to give
Hold that 38 ready 'til
She really looks steady
Then just let her rip
Put some powder in your eyes
Just before that contact's made
How it must hurt to pervert
What the curtain can't hide
From that fire in your eyes
But is it really a surprise?
And it's too bad
Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue
Hmm, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody's lost control
Get ready to roll get ready to roll
Something's just gotta break
You've been waiting so long for success
It's a shame it's gonna come too late
Baby, fly like a rocket
Shoot it out in stages from the mother ship
It's too bad you gotta lose what you had
And when you cruise you gotta
Shoot it from the hip
Or you give 'em all the slip
And it's too bad
Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue
Ooh, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody's lost control
Get ready to roll get ready to roll
Play it high on the hip
Something's just got to give
Hold that 38 ready 'til
She really looks steady
Then just let her rip
Put some powder in your eyes
Just before that contact's made
How it must hurt to pervert
What the curtain can't hide
From that fire in your eyes
But is it really a surprise?
And it's too bad
Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue
Hmm, somebody really got it in for you
When the night runs down all over town
And everybody's lost control
Get ready to roll get ready to roll
