Martyr On The Road

Martyr On The Road

i am just a drifter
a rollin´ vagabond
premeditated distractions
keeps me on the road
and the highway is my palace
the lines keep me a king
i´m a rollin´ disaster
but you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen

i pass my time by countin´ lines
the years just roll away
i´m a gourmet of affliction
a poor man´s hemingway
and the money keeps me moving´
the road it keeps me lean
i´m a rollin´ disaster
but you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen

(chorus)
you roll me easy
you roll me slow
you roll me over
you never let me go
and the money keeps me movin´
the road it keeps me lean
but, darlin´, oh darlin´
you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen

i´ll roll on through st. louis
haulin´ to st. paul
i´ll drop my rig in arkansas
you´re the prettiest of them all
and i´ll dream of nights in memphis
as i live on nicotine
but darlin´, oh darlin´
you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen

(chorus)
you roll me easy
you roll me slow
you roll me over
you never let me go
and the money keeps me movin´
the road´s my guillotine
i´m a martyr on the road tonight
you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen
i´m a martyr on the road tonight
you´re the best thing i´ve ever seen
