Rolling

Rolling 'cross the highways

And the byways of the nation;

Every condition

Every trial and situation

Passes by the big rig's window

As it rumbles on its way,

Counting miles on miles on miles

As night turns into day.

 

Another town goes speeding by;

Another up ahead.

A hundred more go rolling by

And not a word is said.

The lonely droning of the wheels

Against the asphalt line

Accompanies the singing

Of the mighty engine's whine.

 

Five hundred miles. A thousand miles.

How many more ahead?

Rolling, rolling, rolling on.

A nation to be fed.
