It’s five in the morning
And I’m out on the road again.
Just trying to make a living
Selling hope with a broken heart.
Got a son and a daughter
and I left them at home again.
Just hope they rise up singing
singing for a brand new start.

La da dee
They’ll go la da da da
Yeah I hope they rise up singing)
Singing from their loving hearts.

I roam the land like a drifter
or a grifter who is on the lam
Taking all that’s given
And hoarding what I take.
I know my heart is a mountain
or a moment that I’ll never know.
I keep on rolling anyway
rolling like the morning sun.

La da dee
I go la da da da
Yeah I keep on rolling anyway
rolling like the morning sun.

I see you turn in the hallway
and the care in your weary eyes,
falling on my weathered bones
knocking in the pre-dawn light.
If I could like the wind
I would up and take you anywhere.
But the sun will soon be rising
And the road is waiting, my girl.

La da dee
I go la da da da
Yeah the sun will soon be rising
And the road is waiting, my girl.

I guess the moment that it started
was the moment that I said goodbye
to all those friends I left behind
ten thousands miles away.
From the day I got to roaming
I've been feeling that I'm all alone
I keep on rolling anyway
Hoping that my heart will heal.

La da dee
I go la da da da
Yeah I keep on rolling anyway
Hoping that my heart will heal

Every morning that I'm moving
there's a moment when I see the light
Breaking on that meadow now
and bringing me way back home.
Got a picture in my pocket
of the family that I left behind.
They're smiling at me anyway
Hoping that I sing my song.

La da dee
I go la da da da
They're smiling at me anyway
Hoping that I sing my song.

On and on
To the beat of a broken heart
Yeah but knowing they're home singing
Lights the dawn with a thousand stars.
