[Verse 1]

When I wake up, I don’t wake up

F Dm G C

Until I crawl inside a coffee cup full of speed and powder drugs and coffee

When I get to work, I don’t get to work

F Dm G C

Until I give my brain another jerk with a couple keep-me-goin and calm-me-down

[Chorus]

Some folks roll automatic

They rise and fall just like God would have it

G7 C

And life’s as easy as just pressing the gas and going

Well, I wish I could, but I spent a lot of years

F C Dm7

Trading the tides for coffee and beers

And now I gotta shift my own busted gears

C C7

I’m a manual

[Verse 2]

When it’s happy hour, it ain’t happy hour

F Dm G

Until couple rounds, tall, strong and sar, get to shinin up my smile

for you to see

When it’s time to chill, I don’t got time to chill

F Dm G

Until I get my watch to start standing still, and I know how, but that sure

will be expensive

[Chorus]

Some folks roll automatic

They rise and fall just like God would have it
