Lyrics for Song: Roll On Buddy, Roll On
Lyrics for Album: Icon [2012]
I'm going to that east pay road
I'm going to that east pay road
I'm going to the east
I going to the west
I'm going to the one that I love best
Roll on, buddy, roll on
Roll on, buddy, roll on
You wouldn't roll so slow
If you knew what I know
So roll on, buddy, roll on
I've got a good woman just the same
I've got a good woman just the same
My woman just the same
Says she's gonna change her name
I've got a good woman just the same
Roll on, buddy, roll on
Roll on, buddy, roll on
You wouldn't roll so slow
If you knew what I know
So roll on, buddy, roll on
My home is down in Tennessee
My home is down in Tennessee
In Tennessee
That's where I long to be
Way down in sunny Tennessee
Roll on, buddy, roll on
Roll on, buddy, roll on
You wouldn't roll so slow
If you knew what I know
So roll on, buddy, roll on
