robert earl keen – rollin’ by lyrics
it’s a busted old town on the plains of west texas.
d c g d
the drugstore’s closed down, and the river runs dry.
d c g d
the semis roll through like stainless steel stallions
d c g
goin’ hard, goin’ fast, goin’ wild
d c g
rollin’ hard, rollin’ fast, rollin’ by.
(after this the song uses the same progression, even
for the solos — which
i won’t transcribe here either.)
and the mission still stands at the edge of the
plateau.
a stone marks the graves where the old cowboys lie.
asleep in a time, in a town just a youngster
goin’ hard, goin’ fast, goin’ wild
rollin’ hard, rollin’ fast, rollin’ by.
and the drive-in don’t play no friday night pictures.
no big silver screen to light up the sky.
gone are the days of post-war-time lovers
goin’ hard, goin’ fast, goin’ wild
rollin’ hard, rollin’ fast, rollin’ by.
and me — i stand here at the last fillin’ station
where the wind moans a dirge to the coyote’s cry.
i jump in my car; i’m back out on the highway
goin’ hard, goin’ fast, goin’ wild
rollin’ hard, rollin’ fast, rollin’ by
goin’ hard, goin’ fast, goin’ wild
rollin’ hard, rollin’ fast, rollin’ by.
