[Verse 1]
Tank half full at dawn
Coffee cold in a cup
Dad's old map on the dash
Folded up and worn up
Tires sing on the blacktop
Cornfields blur to gold
I left a name on the porch
I left a story untold
[Pre-Chorus]
Mile by mile
I feel the chain come loose
White line ahead
Like a promise I can use
[Chorus]
Roll on, roll on
Cross that line
Roll on, roll on
I got time
One tank, one song
Wide and loud
Roll on, roll on
I’m coming through now
[Verse 2]
Saw a kid in a diner
With a jacket full of pins
Said he’s headed west tonight
To start his life again
Took the long way past the river
Past the mills and the grain
Every town left a scratch
Every scratch felt like rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Mile by mile
I feel the chain come loose
Red sky ahead
Like a promise I can use
[Chorus]
Roll on, roll on
Cross that line
Roll on, roll on
I got time
One tank, one song
Wide and loud
Roll on, roll on
I’m coming through now
[Bridge]
If I get tired
I’ll pull off and breathe
Watch the freight roll by
And remember what I need
No more backseat
No more heavy hand
Just this engine and me
And a little open land
[Final Chorus]
Roll on, roll on
Cross that line
Roll on, roll on
I got time
One tank, one song
Wide and loud
Roll on, roll on
I’m coming through now
Roll on, roll on
Till the road runs out
Roll on, roll on
Hear me sing it out
