[Verse 1] I left my name by the screen door Left that town in a half-lit dawn Mama waved with her apron I kept my eyes on the miles ahead long The tank was low, the sky was silver My old coat smelled like cedar rain I had a pocket full of receipts And a heart full of yesterday pain [Pre-Chorus] But the road kept calling Like it knew my song Every bend said, baby You been gone too long [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Let the white lines take me home Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway I’m still me when I’m alone [Verse 2] Saw a diner with a red sign Saw a boy in a cotton field Saw my reflection in a truck stop glass Old hurt never quite got healed There was a church bell far behind me There was a radio crackle in the heat And I laughed like I was twenty-one At the thunder under my seat [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause the road kept calling Like a shotgun prayer Every bend said, baby You can breathe out there [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Let the white lines take me home Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway I’m still me when I’m alone [Bridge] I don’t need a map in my hand I don’t need a crowd to know my name Just that ribbon of silver moving And this worn-out heart I claim [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Let the white lines take me home Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway I’m still me when I’m alone [Outro] Yeah, I’m still me Past the lines and the rain Rolling on, rolling on Till the sky says my name
