LYRICS:
Old Gus ran a diner off a long dirt road,
Where cowboys and truckers stopped to lighten their load.
The coffee was strong, and the stories were long,
Gus would greet every driver like a brother come home.
He’d say, “The Lord’s up above, watchin’ over this place,
Like the highway below, He’s your saving grace.
When you finish your meal, and you’re ready to go,
Remember what I say, son-let the next one roll.”
“Let the next one roll, let the next mile fly,
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes to the sky.
There’s a long road ahead, but you’re never alone,
With the highway beneath, you’ll find your way home.
Like a firm foundation, steady and true,
The Lord up above is always with you.”
One night ol’ Gus took a turn for the worse,
The truckers rolled in, one by one, to hear the nurse.
He passed with the dawn, his hands at his side,
A cowboy’s last ride, with the Lord as his guide.
And as the preacher stood tall, to say his goodbye,
He looked at the crowd with tears in his eye,
Said, “Gus built this place where your hearts found a goal,
And with every goodbye, he’d say-let the next one roll.”
“Let the next one roll, let the next mile fly,
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes to the sky.
There’s a long road ahead, but you’re never alone,
With the highway beneath, you’ll find your way home.
Like a firm foundation, steady and true,
The Lord up above is always with you.”
[Bridge]
Now Gus is ridin’ where the angels fly,
Where the cowboys roam and the trucks don’t die.
But his words stay strong in the wind and the soul,
For every man leavin’, “let the next one roll.”
[Chorus]
“Let the next one roll, let the next mile fly,
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes to the sky.
There’s a long road ahead, but you’re never alone,
With the highway beneath, you’ll find your way home.
Like a firm foundation, steady and true,
The Lord up above is always with you.”
[Outro]
So when the road gets long and the dust starts to rise,
Think of Gus and his words, lookin’ up to the skies.
With miles to travel and dreams to unroll,
Let the next one roll, yeah, let the next one roll.
