From the recording The Dealer
Lyrics
Keep On Rollin’
I’m rollin’ down an eastern mountain highway
Can’t see the stars for all the clouds
From the forest I can hear the devil callin’ me
My past is comin’ down like a screamin’ owl
Tonight the deer are runnin’ free out in Kansas
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’s sleepin’ beneath the moon
Now I ain’t never been locked up in no prison
But I’ve spent a lot of years locked out in the cold
And every day ‘n every night has been a lesson
There ain’t no better place than your home to go
There’s a chorus of thieves that live along the highway
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’s there to pull me through
And I keep on rollin’, yeah, keep on rollin’
Lord, I’m rollin, yeah, I’m rollin’ home to her
I’m rollin’ down across the muddy Ohio
Clouds part to the gleam of the midnight gold
My headlights catch the eyes of a little coyote
He’s runnin’ down the ditches howlin’ hungry for his home
And I’m dreamin’ of candle lights ‘n warm, warm whiskey
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’s waitin’ for me by the door
And I keep on rollin’, yeah, keep on rollin’
Lord, I’m rollin, yeah, I’m rollin’ home to her
