lyrics

Traveling around this land
In a crazy outlaw band
Raising hell at every Honky Tonk and bar

This life on the road has just taken its toll
And I’m surprised to find we made it this far

Now baby just understand
You’re in love with a rolling man
And I'm gonna roll on honey just like the tide
Sometimes high sometimes low
But I always got to go and you aint ever gonna see me satisfied
No lord
You aint never gonna see me satisfied

And I'm gonna roll on down the long lonesome highway
Where I'm bound
I can’t tell
Its a long way up to heaven they say
But a short walk down to hell
It’s a short walk down to hell

Stormed out the door no I never said goodbye
And I don’t give a damn how you live or when you die
I’m going to keep these wheels a turning cause this road is all I know
Now pass me that bottle let me get a hit before I go

And I'm gonna roll on down the long lonesome highway
Where I'm bound
I can’t tell
Its a long way up to heaven they say
but a short walk down to hell
Its a short walk down to hell

Traveling all around
Got a woman in each town
They always try to make me stay
May be wrong may be right
But you have me for tonight
Cause I will be gone at the break of day
Back down that lost highway

And I'm gonna roll on down the long lonesome highway
Where I'm bound
Probably hell
It’s a long way up to heaven they say
So I guess I'll just bid you all farewell

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
