some folks' lives roll easy

some folks' lives roll easy as a breeze

drifting through a summer night

heading for a sunny day

but most folks' lives

they stumble

lord they fall

through no fault of their own

most folks never catch their stars

and here i am

lord

i'm knocking at your place of business

i know i ain't got no business here

but you said if i ever got so low

i was busted

you could be trusted

some folks' lives roll easy

some folks' lives never roll at all

they just fall

they just fall

some folks' lives
