[Chorus]
Well, my old car's rolling down the line
Thoughts of my baby running through my mind
She's waiting for me, I got to be on time

[Post-Chorus]
I got to go, go, go, go, go, go, go
I got to go, go, go, go, go, go, go

[Verse 1]
Well, the white marker's flying off the road below
Man, I'm really flying low
My baby's waiting, I can't go slow

[Post-Chorus]
I got to go, go, go, go, go, go, go
I got to go, go, go, go, go, go, go

[Verse 2]
Well, a big policeman pulled alongside a-me
He said, "Boy you ain't quite as fast as me!"
I showed him a picture of that baby of mine
He said, "Boy you got to roll on down that line!"

[Chorus]
Well, my old car's rolling down the line
Thoughts of my baby running through my mind
She's waiting for me, I got to be on time
