Set upon a mission and the part they never mention
Now, I am a man of many names
Some go through the motions but I crossed the oceans
Since have found some motions of my own

Though my heart it means good I'm huddled in the backwoods
Making all the plans you know I make
Once the strings are too fine I'll make the b-line
I'm moved to tears by splendor-less displays

I had better keep rolling on
I had better keep rolling on

I looked into the distance and in case you missed it
A thousand lights just faded out at once
Shouting from the rooftops to a ghost town all riled up
I knew I'd better keep the peace

The eagle and the full moon will rise from the west soon
Deliver me to the land of sand and stone
Once I'm back at my place I'll find it at my own pace
The backwoods treat me like kin

I had better keep rolling on yeah
I had better keep rolling on

I had better keep rolling on
On on on
I had better keep rolling on
