Gene Watson - Rollin' Home Lyrics






The sun wasn't even up yet when I left Pittsburgh P.A.
With a load of cold steel headed for that volunteer state
Got a woman on my mind waitin' back in Tennessee
She's savin' all her sweet love for me
And I'm rollin' home
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
That old sun is sinkin' down
Lord I'm Dixie bound, goin' home

Be two weeks ago tomorrow since she watched me drive away
And I know that she knows that I've been countin' every day
Lord knows, this endless highway sure gets rough on a man's bones
But she makes the leavin' worth it commin' home
And I'm rollin' home
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
Well, I've got that hammer down
Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home

Well, I'm rollin' home
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
Well, I've got that hammer down
Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home

Well, I'm rollin' home
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
Well, I've got that hammer down
Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home, goin' home

  5. O.... S....

    Love that duel truck :)

  6. W.... L....

    I love mr. Gene Watson the man and me and you but it's not plausible there's no way a trucker is going to deadhead from Maine to Texas it's not happening

    W.... L....

    yes it's very possible a lot of people that have specialized freight especially like boats and a whole lot of other things they get paid and it's in their contract they will deliver and then they will deadhead back

  7. W.... L....

    Im on dedicated run to Pa back to tn lobe this song Sugar Cookie out

  8. P.... ....

    Impossible to get a better image for preview.

  9. W.... C....

    A.... W....

    The real hi speed chicken feed days...When they talked about the Monfort Lane they fuckin meant it. Talkin the talk walkin the walk. The old Dodge cabover was cool to see. Think they and Ford had a contest who could build the boxiest ugliest around..LOL

    A.... W....

    +Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist The double sleeper International cabover brought back memories as a little boy.

    Trucks used to be good now they have gone to shit because they want the trucks to be aerodyne and emission friendly. They look more bad ass when there rollin coal

    R.... R....

    Modern day Semi's are like driving a Nissan and look ugly as a 82 Datsun,I agree.

  22. T.... S....

    Trucking has gone to shit.

    T.... S....

    Wish I could've drove from the the 60's-80's.
    I was just a little boy riding shotgun with my Dad.
    Those era's were badass and today's era pales in comparison.

  23. t.... ....

    You mean the bumper? If you are referring to the chopped bumper that was just a cheaper option on a few company trucks that ordered them that way, some add just a add-on end to them.

  24. B.... C....

    @1:07-1:09 why did they do that to the front fenders, why do the steer wheels have no fenders, ive always wanted to know?

  25. s.... ....

    old truckers never die-they just get their---???---"rebuilt!'

  26. L.... ....
