[Verse 1]

Reeling 'cross the mossy swamp

Texarkana, Louisiana

Listening to the engine thump

My nerves are shattered, what does it matter

If the rain pitter patters down the tree stump?

[Verse 2]

Looks like the rivers are low

Johnny and Lindy, ain't they windy?

Listening to the radio

Rivers steamin', what are you dreamin'?

Leaning half way out the window

[Chorus]

Roll on, honey, we're rollin' on

Blurred barbed wire out the window

Turn around and you'll be gone

[Verse 3]

Headed up east about broke

In my tuxedo, holy Toledo

Choking on the factory smoke

There go the Great Lakes, I got a headache

I ain't trying to make no joke

[Chorus]

Roll on, honey, we're rollin' on

Blurred barbed wire out the window

Turn around and you'll be gone

[Verse 4]

Now we gotta pay our toll

New York City, ain't she pretty

Blazing like a thunderbolt

My nerves are shattered, what does it matter

If the rain pitter patters down a manhole?

[Outro]

Roll on, honey, we're rollin' on

Roll, roll, roll, we're rollin' on

Hold on honey, we're rollin' on

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

Roll on, honey, we're rollin' on
