Yeah, my mama said, "Don't worry, my sweet child You'll face trials on the road for miles and miles But don't look back on this worn down barn 'n' two lane town Just keep rollin', rollin' southbound," Now I'm up here on this stage in shinin' lights It's just you and me and a six-string here tonight Life will come and pass you by Unless you chase it down So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound Papa wore the tread off his old boots And it would end it to get us through He sent me on my way, and I'm here to make him proud So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound, mm Whoa, whoa-oh-oh I can promise you won't think I ain't changin' I'll always be that boy from Pennsylvania I'll thank the Lord above for every face out in this crowd And for their own, he keeps me rollin' southbound So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound
