Rollin' Along

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
