[Verse 1] The old truck easing down the block Mabel’s fan still humming by the cracked dash clock Faded white paint baked in the July heat Loose ball joints clinking underneath her seat [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo] [Verse 2] Mabel hands a lemon bar to the kid on the stoop Dipped cone for a guy in a steel-toe boot Blue moon, butter pecan, rocky road Hands at the window, pocket change unfolds [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo] [Verse 3] Mr. Bell with his cap pulled low Keeps a coffee can of quarters by the windshield glow Knows which porch wants a fudgesicle Who takes rainbow sprinkles, who wants plain vanilla [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo] [Bridge] Mabel in her visor, hair tucked back Sun-faded apron, cash box in the cab She knows Mrs. Vega on the second floor And the Bell boys holler, “Two pops more” By late August, the yards turn dry and brown Still Mabel comes rolling through this town You can keep your chrome and your showroom shine I’ll take Mabel and that old slow line [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo] [Outro] Mabel, one more for the road Tail lights fading, that slow engine load The bell goes quiet, the motor hums low Down the street where the last porch glow [Country Solo] [Chorus] Mabel, roll on, roll on Ice cream queen from early dawn That little bell ringing soft and low Mabel keeps this old truck moving slow Mabel, take your time One scoop at a time Mabel, roll on, roll on Bringing this whole block back to life [Country Solo]
