Lyrics

I've been knocked out
Drugged and loaded
River's roarin' on before me
And I look down at my reflection
Where its headed, no direction

River
Won't you roll my blues away

All my life I've been alone
And never have I had a home until you came
But now love's gone bad
Its kind of sad
But I guess that I'm to blame
'Cause I'm just untamed

Oh I can see that I have fallen
From your grace which was my calling
West wind is blowin' hard against me
Flat out road is all that I see

Highway
Won't you roll my blues away

All my life I've been alone
And never have I had a home until you came
But now love's gone bad
It's kind of sad
But I guess that I'm to blame
'Cause I'm just untamed

Oh never have I longed so dearly
My mind sees you oh so clearly
Freight train is coming fast and strong
Steady rollin' on and on

Freight train
Won't you roll my blues away

All my life I've been alone
And never have I had a home until you came
But now love's gone bad
It's kind of sad
But I guess that I'm to blame
'Cause I'm just untamed

Oh I can see that I have fallen
From your grace which was my calling
West wind is blowin' hard against me
Flat out road is all that I see

Highway
Won't you roll my blues away
