Down The Line - Buddy Holly

Down The Line

Buddy Holly

(B. Holly - B. Montgomery, Recorded 1954, released 1965)

Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line
'Cause of my baby runnin' through my mind
She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
Well, a white car climbed on the road below
Man, I'm a-really flyin' low
My baby's waitin', I can't go slow
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
Well, a big policeman pulled alongside 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
Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line
'Cause of my baby runnin' through my mind
She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
I gotta roll-roll-roll-roll
Roll on down the line
