The Federales - Blowin' the Rollers Lyrics

Driftless Sunday mornin, boat on the water
Baby ridin' shotgun, Beer in my hand

Barreling down the river, Mississippi backwaters
50 miles an hour, Heading for the dam

Get on the horn, Call the lock operator
Here I come in my 28 footer Eliminator

Well there's a barge in the lock, two hour delay
I ain't on the clock, But I ain't gonna wait

I'm blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Hit it fast and straight
Going under that gate
Blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Don't hesitate
Going under that gate

Well there's a party on the sandbar, Just around the bend
Everybody's there, All our river friends

Look left and right, over my shoulder
Don't see no patrol, what the hell, here we go

I'm blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Hit it fast and straight
Going under that gate
Blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Don't hesitate
Going under that gate

Well liquid courage is drivin' me on
I hit the throttle and the current's strong
Grab some air and my baby screams
Open your eyes babe, we made it through clean

We're blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Hit it fast and straight
Going under that gate
Blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Don't hesitate
Going under that gate

Blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Hit it fast and straight
Going under that gate
Blowin' the rollers, Blowin' the rollers
Don't hesitate
Going under that gate

Don't hesitate
Going under that gate
