That sounds about right...

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel,

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel,

Going to the roadhouse, we're gonna have a real, good time.

Out back of the roadhouse they got some bungalows,

Out back of the roadhouse they got some bungalows,

That's for the people who like to go down slow.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, all night long.

Ashen lady, ashen lady,

Give up your vows, give up your vows.

Save our city, save our city.

Right now.

Well I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer.

Well I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer.

The future's uncertaing and the end is always near.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, baby roll.

Let it roll, all night long.
