Lyrics

I'm headed down a highway
Got my suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head
I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town
Play a late night show
I hope people are ready there
'Cause the boys are all ready to go
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, miles of travelin
It's all I understand
Yes, I was born a travelin' man
And my feet still burn the ground
I don't care for fancy music
If your shoes can't shuffle around
I got a hundred women or more
And there's no place I call home
The only time I'm satisfied
Is when I'm on the road, Lord
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, miles of travelin'
It's all I understand
Sometimes I wonder
Well where will we go
Lord, don't you take my whiskey
And rock'n'roll
Take me down to Memphis town
Bus driver, get me there
I got me a queen, an'
She got long brown curly hair
She likes to drink Old Granddad
And her shoes do shuffle around
An' every time I see that gal
Lord, she wants to take me down
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, miles of travelin'
It's all I understand
Sometimes I wonder
Well where will we go
Lord, don't you take my whiskey
And rock'n'roll
