well the road to Memphis is long and flat from the heart of the city to the west of the river you can see the heat rise from the sun shine down and I'm rollin' out, yea I'm rollin' out
and the road to mobile is dust and dirt on the side gas pumps dry and kudzu covers I'd be barefoot walkin' if it weren't so hot But I'm rollin' on, yea I'm rollin' on
And it's another day of candy bar wrappers Cigarette smoke, roll the window down This damned road don't know where it's goin' Just another day down
Well I'm too far gone to turn around Just another mile, just another minute Till it's all the same and I'm back again And I'm rollin' in, yea I'm rollin' in
Just for dollars in my pocket, stories in my skin I'll go out tomorrow just to get back home again
