Steve Earle - Little Rock 'N' Roller lyrics

rate me

Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone

I guess I didn't know you could do that, God help me, have I been gone that long

I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line

They got all the big trucks here, boy, you ought to hear the big diesels whine

No little guy, your daddy won't be home for a while

It's gonna be another couple weeks and another couple thousand miles

So got to sleep little rock 'n' roller

Your daddy's up there knockin' 'em dead tonight

One of these days when you're a little older

You can ride the big bus and everything will be alright

Until that day you got your mama to hold you

Don't be afraid when she turns out the light

Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers

Watchin' over you and your daddy tonight

No little guy, don't bother your mamma right now

'Cause I only got a minute and I called to talk to you anyhow

I Know you miss me, God knows I'm thinkin' 'bout you

I got your picture in my wallet, it cheers me up sometimes when I'm blue

Well little guy, I'm gonna have to let you go

You know it's way past your bedtime, and they're tellin' me we gotta roll
