Down the Line (With Bob Montgomery) - Buddy Holly

Well my old car’s a-rollin' down the line

thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind

she’s a-waitin' for me — I gotta be on time

I gotta roll…

Well, the white marker’s flying off the road below

when I’m really flying low

my baby’s waiting — I can’t go slow

I gotta roll…

Well, the big policeman pulled along side of 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 gotta roll on down that line»
