Little Rock 'n' Roller Lyrics - Steve Earle

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 

Now, 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 go 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 

Till that day you got your mama to hold you 

Don't be afraid when she turns out the light 

'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 

And so, go 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 

Till that day you got your mama to hold you 

Don't be afraid when she turns out the light 

'Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers 

Watchin' out for you and your daddy tonight 

I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers 

Just watchin' over you and your daddy tonight
