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
|
