|
Met 'em on the highway |
|
Way out on the road |
|
Where they were a-headin' |
|
Don't think anybody knows |
|
Didn't care where, |
|
Only needed to go |
|
They're just rollin' along |
|
Pulled into a truckstop |
|
A hundred miles to go |
|
Feelin' kind of beat up |
|
After eatin' up the road |
|
Thought we had it tough ' |
|
Til we heard their tale of woe |
|
They'd been rollin' along |
|
Livin' on the highway |
|
Rollin' along |
|
Travellin' way too far |
|
Rollin' along |
|
With the mess they're under |
|
Lightnin' and the thunder... |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Rollin' along |
|
Said they'd play for pickin's |
|
Any place on up the road |
|
Thought it would come easy |
|
They'd be rakin' in the dough |
|
Barely brings a livin' |
|
Said "I guess it comes slow" |
|
And they're rollin' along |
|
Told me they'd seen trouble |
|
A short time ago |
|
At a rock n' roll house |
|
Where they'd tried to steal the show |
|
Cowboys let 'em have it |
|
And they showed 'em where to go |
|
Now they're... |
|
Rollin along |
|
Livin' on the highway |
|
Rollin' along |
|
Travellin' way too far |
|
Rollin' along |
|
With the mess they're under |
|
Lightnin' and the thunder |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Haven't got an eagle |
|
Or a place to lay their heads |
|
Have to run the highway |
|
Still they're gonna make it |
|
Still they've got the will |
|
You know they're gonna make it |
|
They keep climbin' up the hill |
|
Rollin' for the highway |
|
Stood and watched 'em go |
|
Wonderin' if they'd manage |
|
As they blew off down the road |
|
Thinkin' how we'd made this trip |
|
So many years ago |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Livin' on the highway |
|
Rollin' along |
|
Travellin' way too far |
|
Rollin' along |
|
With this mess they're under |
|
Lightnin' and the thunder... |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Rollin' along |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Whoa, rollin' along |
|
Keep those wheels a-turnin' |
|
Whoa, rollin' along |
|
Just rollin' along |
|
Just rollin' along |
