Words & music by Paul Simon



Some folks' lives roll easy as a breeze

Drifting through a summer night

Heading for a sunny day

But most folks' lives, oh 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

Oh, they just fall

They just fall

Some folks' lives
