Johnny never knew what hit him
When he first met Julia
He used to be so wild and free
Time treats everybody like a fool

You gotta roll with the punches
The sun is sinkin' low
You gotta roll with the punches
Honey, we ain't never goin' home

Johnny had a '57 Chevy
With four-on-the-floor and a 429
We used to take it out to Wild Horse Pike
Run it out to the end of the line

You gotta roll with the punches
The sun is sinkin' low
You gotta roll with the punches
Honey, we ain't never goin' home
