Rollin' Along

(album: Bachman & Turner - 2010)

Met 'em on the highway
Way out on the road
Where they were a-heading
Don't think anybody knows
Didn't care where,
Only needed to go

They're just rolling along

Pulled into a truckstop
A hundred miles to go
Feeling kind of beat up
After eating up the road
Thought we had it tough
'Til we heard their tale of woe

They'd been rolling along
Living on the highway
Rolling along
Travelling way too far
Rolling along
With the mess they're under
Lightning and the thunder...
Just rolling along
Rolling along

Said they'd play for pickin's
Any place on up the road
Thought it would come easy
They'd be raking in the dough
Barely brings a living
Said "I guess it comes slow"
And they're rolling 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
Living on the highway
Rolling along
Travelling way too far
Rolling along
With the mess they're under
Lightning and the thunder
Just rolling 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 climbing up the hill

Rolling for the highway
Stood and watched 'em go
Wondering if they'd manage
As they blew off down the road
Thinking how we'd made this trip
So many years ago
Just rolling along

Living on the highway
Rolling along
Travelling way too far
Rolling along
With this mess they're under
Lightning and the thunder...

Just rolling along
Rolling along
Just rolling along
Whoa, rolling along
Keep those wheels a-turning
Whoa, rolling along
Just rolling along
Just rolling along
