Lyrics
Roll on, buddy, roll on
Roll on, buddy, roll on
Wouldn't roll so slow
If you knew what I know
So roll on, buddy, roll on
I'm going to that east pay road
I'm going to that east pay road
I'm going to that east, I'm going to the west
I'm going to the one that I love best
My home in down in Tennessee
My home in down in Tennessee
In sunny Tennessee, that's where I want to be
Way down in sunny Tennessee
I've got a good woman just the same
I've got a good woman just the same
Got a woman just the same, and I'm gonna change her name
I've got a good woman just the sameDemo Videos
