I Don't Roll (D. Longuski) by Dewey Longuski

Yesterday my boss called me off the line
Knew I had a CDL years ago
Said he could make me rich if I got back into trucking
Hauling parts from coast to coast
But before the last words of the offer left his lips
I just shook my head and told him how it is

I DON'T ROLL
In my rock-solid home
Gotta a beautiful wife and happy kids to hold
I'm covered in love like moss on a sedentary stone
I DON'T ROLL

I've gotta lotta single friends who say a family like mine
Would only slow 'em down
I read between the lines on the postcards they send
They can't believe I'm stuck in the same town
Oh, I pray someday they'll get tired of living the fast life
And sooner than later they'll see the reasons why...

REPEAT CHORUS

I meant every word in that little white church
From 'with this ring' to "I do"
I chocked my wheels right then and there
My roaming days were through

REPEAT CHORUS
