lyrics

45 years got a few friends I can trust
I got a couple more baby we don't talk that much
I got a woman my God she's the best I've ever seen
She keep me rollin like an 18 wheel machine
and i'm on a roll I'm rollin, rollin on.

I'm an Indiana boy with a heart that won't sit still
My cups runnin over but I still aint got my fill
Pray for me Mary that I keep my spirit right
Help me Jesus when I wanna give up the fight
and i'm on a roll.. I'm rollin... rollin on

Hey America
I'm lookin for a sign
Hey America
a little sign of life
Hey America
Livin by faith and not by sight
Drivin through the mountains
in the middle of the night
rain coming down
but I think I see your light
Hey America

To the doctors
And the nurses
And the scientists
Working on a cure
To the factory worker
The stocker of shelves
The delivery driver
Carryer of mail
The teachers, parents, children, partners
Pastors, janitors, first responders -
All of you -
You’re not alone
We’re not alone
You’re not alone
We’re not alone

I'm on a roll I'm rollin rollin on
Hey America
I'm lookin for a sign
Hey America
a little sign of life
Hey America
Livin by faith and not by sight
Drivin through the mountains
in the middle of the night
rain coming down
but I think we'll be alright
Hey America
