Nancy's going back to Sausolito
She lives out on the Bay inside a boat
She doesn't own a telephone or TV
But she's got enough to keep herself afloat
And she keeps on rollin', rollin' down the line

Lucy, she's on leave from the Navy,
Joined up after gettin' her degree
And she blames it all upon the economy
Ain't much for a black girl back there in Milwaukee
So she keeps on rollin'
Keeps on rollin'
Rollin' down the line

And that loudmouth in the backseat's showing off what he don't know
Makin' fun of truckers that we pass along the road
Barb puts down her paperback and tells him, "Hey, Shut Up!"
"My old man don't talk much, but he sure can drive a truck. "
And he keeps on rollin' , keeps on rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the line

Johnny's been discharged from the Army
He's a sad and bitter boy - no place to go
His Ma she still lives in the State Hospital
And Pa's just a stranger he don't know
Johnny keep on rollin'
Keep on rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the line

And me, I just keep looking out that window
I see things so much clearer from afar
I see the way so many of us move along
Going so many places
To find out where we are
And we just keep rollin'
Keep on rollin'
We gotta keep rollin'
Keep on rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' , down the line
