ROLLIN’ ON
(Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb - 1941


You ask me where I’m goin’ I’m sure I do not know
But it does not matter much just so I’m on the go
I’m searching for that somethin’ I know I’ll never find
But just let me drift along and dream away my time

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

Instrumentals

Now happiness is somethin’ that most folks never find
But we all can dream of it leave that troubled mind
The only love I’ve ever known left me with a scar
A memory that’s haunting me though I’ve traveled far 

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

Instrumentals

There’s no use my pretending of course I’m really sad
But I’ve find some good things all mixed up with the bad
I’ve been a lot of places I’ve done a lot that’s wrong
But perhaps I’ll win the fight if I keep Rollin’ On

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On
