We rented a truck and a semi to go, to travel down the long and some windin' road
Look on the map, I think we've been there before, close up the doors, let's roll once more
Cop on the corner, look, he's startin' to write
Well, I don't need no ticket so I scream outta sight
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see, look in the mirror, is he still followin' me?
(Let it roll down the highway)
(Let it roll down the highway, roll, roll)
Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place, move out, boys, and let's prepare to race
454's comin' over the hill, the man on patrol's gonna give us a bill
Time's real short, you know the distance is long, I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck, we gotta keep movin' if we're gonna make a buck
(Let it roll down the highway)
(Let it roll down the highway, roll)
Roll on
(Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll)
(Let it roll down the highway, let it roll down the highway, roll, roll, roll)
(Down the highway, let it roll down the highway, roll, roll, roll)
(Let it roll down the highway), wow)
(Let it roll down the highway, roll, roll, roll)
