Rollin' Home
Rollin' Home: Love's Journey on the Dixie Highway
Lyrics
The sun wasn't even up yet when I left Pittsburgh P.A.
The journey begins early in the morning from Pittsburgh, P.A.
With a load of cold steel headed for that volunteer state
Transporting a load of cold steel to the volunteer state.
Got a woman on my mind waitin' back in Tennessee
A woman is on the narrator's mind, waiting for him in Tennessee.
She's savin' all her sweet love for me
She's reserving her affection for his return.
And I'm rollin' home
The narrator expresses the act of heading home.
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
Emphasizes the need to keep the truck's wheels turning smoothly.
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
Hopes to reach Nashville and see its lights through the windshield tonight.
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
The narrator anticipates arriving in Nashville by evening.
That old sun is sinkin' down
Describes the sun setting as the narrator travels towards Dixie.
Lord I'm Dixie bound, goin' home
Expresses a sense of heading towards the Southern United States.
Be two weeks ago tomorrow since she watched me drive away
It's been two weeks since the narrator left, and he recalls the departure.
And I know that she knows that I've been countin' every day
The narrator acknowledges that his partner is aware of his absence.
Lord knows, this endless highway sure gets rough on a man's bones
Reflects on the challenges of the endless highway on a person's well-being.
But she makes the leavin' worth it commin' home
Despite the hardships, the joy of returning makes the separation worthwhile.
And I'm rollin' home
Reiteration of the narrator's journey home.
Got to keep these big wheels hummin' their song
Stresses the importance of keeping the truck's wheels turning smoothly.
And if I'm lucky, by tonight, well
Hopeful anticipation of seeing the lights of Nashville by night.
I'll see the lights of Nashville through my windshield
Anticipation of arriving in Nashville during the evening.
Well, I've got that hammer down

Lord, I'm Dixie bound, I'm goin' home
