Roll On Down The Highway Lyrics

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway,
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll

Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll down the highway,
Let it roll down the highway.....

Love to hear this as loud as you can crank it. Cruising down the highway in a 60's muscle car foot to the floor!!

I love listening to this as I drive home to the Reservation through empty ass Nebraska.

I mean, you barely know what he's singing about normally but, going around 90 miles an hour on a flat road in the middle of nowhere is a beautiful experience listening to this.

The lyrics are simple and self-explanatory. A great driving song ! As for lead guitar solos this one kicks ass! I rank Randy Bachman's lead guitar solo in this song as number 1 in my all time list. Sure Hendrix, Page etc may be more skilled but I just love the sound of this one.
