[Verse 1]
Been in this big city
You know, long enough
Hustlin' all day, workin' all night
Things are gettin' mighty rough
[Bridge]
Think it's time I made it back
Back where I belong
Take one down, pass it around
99 more to go
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home
Rollin' rollin' (Rollin' rollin')
I'm goin' home
Rollin' rollin' (Rollin' rollin')
I can smell that funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
Yes, I can, I can smell that funky, funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
[Verse 2]
Big Ohio keep a-rollin'
Screamin' out your mind
Smokestacks blowing, big wheels rolling
Movin' on down the line
[Bridge]
Think it's time I made it back
Back where I belong
Take one down, pass it around
98 more to go
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home
Rollin' rollin' (Rollin' rollin')
I'm goin' home
Rollin' rollin' (Rollin' rollin')
And, I can smell that funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
Mmm, and I can smell that funky, funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
[Riff]
Take one down (Take one down)
Pass it around
You got 97 more to go
Take one down (Take one down)
Pass it around
You got 96 more to go
Take one down (Take one down)
Pass it around
You got 95 more to go
Take one down (Take one down)
Pass it around
94 more to go
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home, yeah
(Rollin' rollin')
I'm goin' home
(Rollin' rollin')
And, I can smell that funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
I can smell that funky, funky music on down the road (Smell that funky music on down that road)
[Outro]
I can smell (Smell that funky music)
Funk, funky funky music (Smell that funky music)
Take me home (Smell that funky music)
Big wheel keep on rollin'
(Smell that funky music)
Big wheel
(Smell that funky music)
