She was born to a mother trucker Raised behind the wheel So you can blame it on the highway For the way she can't sit still She says life is like a windshield It ain't no rear view mirror The only way to get where you're goin' Is find that higher gear And keep it Rollin' Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin' She said I wanna fell the earth move under me Movin' with the motion of a melody Oh I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul You got to keep it Rollin' Well I knew that I was in trouble When she told me that talk was cheap Said if you're tired get on the sofa 'Cause the bed's no place to sleep Then she reached down and she kissed Lord it knocked me on my knees And I knew if I was gonna get naked I was gonna have to roll up my sleeves And keep it Rollin' Love was gonna run me over if I didn't get it goin' She said I wanna feel the earth move under me Movin' with the motion of a melody Boy I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul You got to keep it Rollin' So I talked her into gettin' married But she wouldn't hang up her wheels I was afraid I'd take a back seat To the way the highway feels But each day she's pullin' over More than she used to She knows love is like the highway The main thing you gotta do Is keep it rollin'
