Well, call my life a simple one
My world, it ain't so big
It might be small, but I've seen it all
From the deck of a rollin' rig
I climbed the border semi
when I was just a kid
And I've seen the time
I've cursed today
But still I'm glad I did
You see, I know this bag I'm
in, it's somethin' that I dig
Give me a bunch of highway
and a regular rollin' rig
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' red
Rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin' red
I've rolled out through the Midwest
when the air was sharp and clear
I've dragged a rugged northern route
when the snow was up to here
From the mountains of Virginia
to the California coast
I've seen the sun come up
and set through a haze of diesel smoke
Lots of friends along the way,
see them every trail
I drank enough black coffee
just to float a battleship
And I'm rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin' rig
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' rig
My wife thinks that I'm a nut,
the kids don't understand
How the open road to the swingin' load
can call a rollin' man
Just call me one of a breed,
bait cast in the brig
Chained and bound to
the roarin' sound
of the wheel of a rollin' rig
And I mean rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' rig
I gotta be rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin' rig
Oh, call my life a simple one,
my world ain't so big
It might be small,
but I've seen it all
from the deck of a rollin' rig
I climbed aboard a semi
when I was just a kid
Not seen the time, I've cursed the day,
but still I'm glad I did
You see, I know this bag,
I mean,
it's somethin' that I dig
Give me a bunch of highway
and a regular rollin' rig
And I mean rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin' rig
I wanna be rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin' rig
Just keep me rollin', rollin'
