Rollin' Smoke Songtext
von Bryan Andrews

I met a man
Said, "Ain′t you tired of being broke?"
Said, "Yeah, I am"
And he asked me if I minded a life on the road
I said, "Hell, nah"
I just wanna put clothes on my back
He said, "Come with me then
We're gonna get you up off your ass
And on your feet, but there′s a price to pay
And now I'm goin' now, you can′t ask me

But I didn′t think I'd hate to hear her say
"Baby, I wish that you would′ve stayed"
When I'm out here on the road
But now that I′m addicted to this life
I think about all of the miles
Between these boots and my front door, yeah


No, no, I can't turn back now
′Cause this is the life I chose
And now the highways slowin' down
I'm just rollin′ smoke

Every now and then
A memory gets in my mind, way back when
Before I left my own life
I was young and scared, but I had bills to pay
So I gave it all just to be happy
Damn

But all the money in the world
Can′t buy the smile of your little girl
When you walk back through that door
And see her face
And sure as hell can't take the pain
When you have to look at her and say
"Daddy′s gotta go back to work"
On that two lane

No, no, I can't turn back now
′Cause this is the life I chose
And now the highways slowin' down
I′m just rollin' smoke


And every single time I drive away
It's like a drug I just have to take
Wish I didn′t need to buy the memories
And baby, you know I don′t wanna leave
I wish I never made that deal
With the devil that day
Even though I'm giving up all my dreams
I′m doing this for my family
And that's something even he
Can′t take away

No, no, I can't turn back now
′Cause this is the life I chose
And now the highways slowin' down
I'm just rollin′ smoke
I′m just rollin' smoke
