      E
Well, my old car's a rollin' down the line
 A
Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
       B7                 A
She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time

        E    A    E    A    E    A    E                  A    E    A    E
I gotta roll roll roll roll roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll roll roll
A    E
roll roll


      E
Well, the white marker's flying off the road below
 A
When I'm really flying low
    B7                A
My baby's waiting, I can't go slow

         E    A    E    A    E    A    E                  A    E    A    E
I gotta roll roll roll roll roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll roll roll
A    E
roll roll


           A                    E
Well, the big policeman pulled along side of me
           A                       E
He said, "Boy, you ain't quite as fast as me"
    A                            E
I showed him a picture of that baby of mine
          F#                      B7
He said, "Boy, you gotta roll on down that line"


      E
Well, my old car's a rollin' down the line
 A
Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
         B7                     A
She's a-waitin' for me I gotta be on time

         E    A    E    A    E    A    E                  A    E    A    E
I gotta roll roll roll roll roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll roll roll
A    E
roll roll
