Down the line

Buddy Holly - Down the line



Well my old car's a-rollin' down the line

thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind

she's a-waitin' for me - I gotta be on time

I gotta roll...



Well, the white marker's flying off the road below

when I'm really flying low

my baby's waiting - I can't go slow

I gotta roll...



Well, the big policeman pulled along side of me

he said "Boy, you ain't quite as fast as me"

I showed him a picture of that baby of mine

he said "Boy, you gotta roll on down that line"
