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
