I'm headed down a highway, got my suitcase by my side

Blue skies hangin' over my head, I got five hundred miles to ride

I'm goin' down to Memphis town to play a late night show

I hope the people are ready there 'cause the boys are all ready to go



Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller, that's what I am

Women, whiskey and miles of travelin is all I understand



Yes, I was born a travelin' man and my feet still burn the ground

I don't care for fancy music if your shoes can't shuffle around

I got a hundred women or more and there's no place I call home 

The only time I'm satisfied is when I'm on the road, Lord



Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller, that's what I am

Women, whiskey and miles of travelin' is all I understand



Sometimes I wonder where will we go

Lord, don't you take my whiskey and rock 'n' roll



Take me down to Memphis town, bus driver, get me there

I got me a queenie, she got long brown curly hair

She likes to drink Old Granddad and her shoes do shuffle around 

And every time I see that gal, Lord, she wants to lay me down



Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller, that's what I am

Women, whiskey and miles of travelin' is all I understand



Sometimes I wonder where will we go. 

Lord, don't you take my whiskey and rock 'n' roll.
