A great old Randy Newman Song. I originally heard this on a Mollie O'Brien album. Performed by Mark Urso Rollin I never drink in the afternoon I never drink alone But I sure do like a drink or two When I get home! Every evening what I do I sit here in this chair I pour myself some whiskey And watch my troubles vanish into the air Rollin', I'm rollin' Ain't gonna worry no more! Rollin', rollin' Ain't gonna worry no more! I used to worry about gamblin' Throwin' my money away I used to worry about wastin' time Layin' round the house all day! But I'm alright now! I'm alright now I never thought I'd make it but I always do somehow! I'm alright now! Rollin', I'm rollin' Ain't gonna worry no more! Rollin', rollin' Ain't gonna worry no more! ###
