lyrics

If guitar picks were only money, I could buy me a ticket home
get on out of this hustlin’ bustlin’ city,
go back to where I come from
but as it is I only got two dollars, gonna find me a place to go
I’m gonna hitch a ride clean out of LA
and I’m never comin’ back no more

I’m rollin’, rollin’ down the highway, and I ain’t never comin’ back
‘til hell freezes over and the sun goes black

I met a lady eight miles from Memphis, she was sittin’ by the side of the road
waiting there with her head in her hands, didn’t have no place to go.
I said, “Hey sister, won’t you walk with me to the other side of the hill?”
she said, “There’s something that’s calling me over, but I just don’t think I will.”

I’m rollin’, rollin’ down the line, and I aint never comin’ back
‘til hell freezes over and the sun goes black

Then the lady said goodbye and she went down to the river, and she climbed aboard the Robert E. Lee.
and she said to herself as she saw the dock a-leavin’,
“Mister sternwheel carry me
‘straight on down that big old muddy river, to the other end of the shore.
‘I’m gonna get out of this god forsaken country and I’m
never comin’ back no more.”

I’m rollin’, rollin’ down the river and I ain’t never comin’ back
‘til hell freezes over and the sun goes black
