Down The Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well my old car's a-rollin' down the line
thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
she's a-waitin' for me - I gotta be on time
I gotta roll...
Well, the white marker's flying off the road below
when I'm really flying low
my baby's waiting - I can't go slow
I gotta roll...
Well, the big policeman pulled along side of me
he said "Boy, you ain't quite as fast as me"
I showed him a picture of that baby of mine
he said "Boy, you gotta roll on down that line"
