[Verse 1] Tires on the blacktop, boots on the floor Got the window down, want a little more Sun on my knuckles, wind in my face I left that old town in a cloud of grace My baby waved, but I didn't stay Had a dead-weight heart and a debt to pay Now the road got rhythm under my skin And it pulls me out, and it pulls me in [Pre-Chorus] I been low, I been bent But the miles got a good intent One more curve, one more town I shake that sorrow right on down [Chorus] Roll me down the highway (roll me) Let the engine howl Roll me down the highway (roll me) I need a dancing mile (roll me down) (roll me down) [Verse 2] A diner sign blinking on the side of the road A paper cup of cold black gold I tap my hand on the steering wheel Like a church bell calling me to feel White line slipping through the heat Two left feet and a heavy beat But when that guitar cries from the radio I swear my whole damn body says go [Pre-Chorus] I been broke, I been burned But I learned what I had to learn If the past wants to ride, let it ride I'm too far gone for the other side [Chorus] Roll me down the highway (roll me) Let the engine howl Roll me down the highway (roll me) I need a dancing mile (roll me down) (roll me down) [Bridge] Every scar got a story in it Every wrong turn, I lived through it If you see me smile, you know why I found my church in the open sky [Break] Hey now Hey now Spin those tires and shout it loud [Final Chorus] Roll me down the highway (roll me) Let the engine howl Roll me down the highway (roll me) I need a dancing mile Roll me down the highway (roll me) Till the morning breaks Roll me down the highway (roll me) My heart won't brake (roll me down) (roll me down)
