I gotta know, will the facts take you home,
And ease you up?
Will they come and then, like a baby again,
The deepest love?
I feel like something old and cold,
While I'm dragging through your black muddy water,
Hugging the road, that electric soul,
Where you go when they pull you under.
Roll on buddy, buddy roll,
Roll on down between the rocks and the road,
Roll on buddy back to old 'Frisco,
Roll buddy roll.
I came to town just to hear you sing,
Slapping the beat on my knees,
You were speaking to me through the leaves in the trees,
And shaking like a Sugaree.
Give me stone, give me dust, give me things that will rust,
I don't want no shine on my shoes,
I'll tell my secrets to anyone now,
I need time, I'm confused.
Roll on buddy, buddy roll,
Roll on down between the rocks and the road,
Roll on buddy back to old 'Frisco,
Roll buddy roll.
