Michael Martin Murphey - Rollin' Nowhere lyrics

Rollin' nowhere, flashing signs Pa**ing shadows, bitter wine Rollin' nowhere, now I find My heart's a lonesome line Down by the muddy river In a jungle with no name Let the smoke rise from the fire Let the story fan the flame In a burnin' need for rollin' 'Til the world looks all the same Rollin' nowhere. Let my mind be free of questions Let my heart be free of fears Let my eyes see only motion Let a day become a year In a blur of rollin' nowhere 'Til I'm way out in the clear Rollin' nowhere. Every tramp will soon discover with the dawning of the light You can't stay in the mission If you don't know wrong from right So you keep on movin' faster Leave your conscience out of sight A barber can't make a livin' Off a man who won't be shaved Preacher can't make a livin' Off a man who won't be saved He might accept your welfare But he'll run right over your grave Rollin' nowhere.
