Steve Earle - Little Rock 'N' Roller

Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone I guess I didn't know you could do that, Lord help me, have I been gone that long? I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line They got all the big trucks here, boy, you ought to hear the big diesels whine No little guy, your daddy won't be home for a while It's gonna be another couple weeks and another couple thousand miles So got to sleep little rock 'n' roller Your daddy's up there knockin' 'em dead tonight One of these days when you're a little older You can ride the big bus and everything will be alright Until that day you got your mama to hold you Don't be afraid when she turns out the lights Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers Watchin' over you and your daddy tonight No little guy, don't bother your mamma right now I only got a minute and I called to talk to you anyhow I know you miss me, God knows I'm thinkin' 'bout you I got your picture in my wallet, it cheers me up sometimes when I'm blue Well little guy, I'm gonna have to let you go You know it's way past your bedtime, and they're tellin' me we gotta roll So got to sleep little rock 'n' roller Your daddy's up there knockin' 'em dead tonight One of these days when you're a little older You can ride the big bus and everything will be alright Until that day you got your mama to hold you Don't be afraid when she turns out the lights Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers Watchin' out for you and your daddy tonight Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers Watchin' over you and your daddy tonight Go to sleep little rock 'n' roller Go to sleep little rock 'n' roller Go to sleep little rock 'n' roller
