[Verse 1] I rolled past the pawn shop sign With a cracked dash and a half-lit mind Mama’s old scarf on the seat beside me Smelled like rain and memory The tires sang on that blacktop seam Like they knew the shape of my old dreams Sun on the hood, dust in my face I was chasing time, time left no trace [Pre-Chorus] And the miles keep calling me Like a hymn in the engine key Every exit I let go Takes a little more than I know [Chorus] Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust Roll on, roll on That’s where I trust I was young when the road was new Now it’s got my name in blue Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust [Verse 2] Seen my first love at a stoplight glow Hair tied back, moving slow She smiled once, then it passed on through Like a porch light fading in the blue I heard my daddy in a rusted truck Say, boy, keep going when you’re out of luck So I kept that wheel between my hands Like a prayer I could understand [Pre-Chorus] And the miles keep calling me Like a hymn in the engine key Every bend and broken line Feels like a piece of my own time [Chorus] Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust Roll on, roll on That’s where I trust I was young when the road was new Now it’s got my name in blue Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust [Bridge] Oh, I ain’t afraid of the long way home I just hate how the good years roam One more town, one more night One more ghost in the fading light [Chorus] Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust Roll on, roll on That’s where I trust I was young when the road was new Now it’s got my name in blue Roll on, roll on Down that highway dust [Outro] Yeah, roll on Past the ache and rust Roll on Down that highway dust
