Can someone out there fill in the lyrics for "Roll On Down The Highway"
by Bachman Turner Overdrive. I love this song, and I always turn up
the radio when it comes on. But I have never understood all the lyrics.
Many of them seem uninteligable. I've written the lyrics, as best as I
understand them below, and placed "bla" wherever I don't understand a
word. Some of the other lyrics may also be wrong due to my mis-hearing.

"Roll On Down The Highway"

we rented a truck, and a bla bla bla go
travel down the bla, and bla bla bla
look on the map, I think we've been there before
open up the door, let's roll once more
stop on the corner, bla starting to rise
well I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight
bla bla bla bla bla I can see
Look in the mirror she still following me

let it roll, down the highway
let it roll, down the highway
roll, roll, roll

look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
move out boys, and let's declare it a race
old mister bla's commin over the hill
the man on the toll's gonna give us a bill
times real short, only six inches long
I got to have bla bla bla bla bla bla
climb back in the cab bla bla bla bla
we got to keep moving if we're gonna make a buck

let it roll, down the highway
let it roll, down the highway
roll, roll, roll

ooooowow
KILLER GUITAR SOLO HERE
ohhhhh yeahhh
let it roll
MORE GUITAR HERE
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll
let it roll

let it roll, down the highway
let it roll, down the highway
roll, roll, roll

let it roll, down the highway
let it roll, down the highway
roll, roll, roll

let it roll, down the highway, woooow
let it roll, down the highway
roll, roll, roll

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long

I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
