(ed king – ronnie vanzant – billy powell)
I’m headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin’ over my head i got 500 miles to ride
I’m goin’ down to memphis town to play a latenight show
I hope the people are ready there ’cause the boys are all ready to go
(chorus)
Well, i’m a whiskey rock-a-roller
That’s what i am
Women, whiskey and miles of travellin’
Is all i understand
I was born a travellin’ man and my feets do burn the ground
I don’t care for fancy music if your shoes can’t shuffle around
I got a 100 women or more and there’s no place i call home
The only time i’m satisfied is when i’m on the road
(chorus)
Sometimes i wonder where will we go
Lord don’t take my whiskey, rock and roll
Take me down to memphis town, busdriver get me there
I got me a queenie she got longbrown curly hair
She likes to drink old grandad and her shoes do shuffle around
And everytime i see that gal
Lord she wants to take me down
(chorus)
Sometimes i wonder where will we go
Lord don’t take my whiskey, rock and roll
