Life Keeps Rolling On

Well…
you wake up one morning,
and somehow the years are gone.
You look at the road behind you…
then you start the engine.
Life keeps rolling on.
I knew a woman in a little town,
A porch light glowing when the sun went down.
We talked forever like we had the time,
But forever never follows a straight line.
I put my clothes in an old suitcase,
Left her picture in that same old place.
Didn't know where the highway'd go,
Only knew I had to roll.
Yesterday is gone,
The road keeps rolling on.
Life keeps rolling on,
Even when you're standing still.
You lose some things you love,
Some things you never will.
You carry what you can't forget,
And leave behind the rest.
Life keeps rolling on…
So I keep rolling too.
I've seen neon shining through the rain,
Drank black coffee by a windowpane.
Heard an old song coming through the radio,
Sounding like a voice I used to know.
Every mile leaves a mark on you,
Every mile brings a different view.
Some roads bend, and some roads break,
You learn which turns you're meant to take.
Yesterday is gone,
The road keeps rolling on.
Life keeps rolling on,
Even when you're standing still.
You lose some things you love,
Some things you never will.
You carry what you can't forget,
And leave behind the rest.
Life keeps rolling on…
So I keep rolling too.
Some things you lose,
Some things you find.
The road keeps moving,
And so do I.
Life keeps rolling on,
Even when the night gets long.
I've made a few mistakes,
But I learned to carry on.
I've loved, I've lost, I've come this far,
With these two hands and an old guitar.
Life keeps rolling on…
And I've still got miles to go.
Yeah…
Maybe that's all there is to it.
You keep moving.
Life keeps rolling on.
