"Roll On Down the Highway" is a song written by Fred Turner and Robbie Bachman. Turner and Randy Bachman had originally been contracted by Ford to write a song for the automotive company's commercials but Ford never picked up the composition[1] and Robbie helped turn it into a top-20 hit. The song was first recorded by Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for their 1974 album Not Fragile. The lead vocal is provided by Turner. It was the second of two singles issued from the LP, and was the follow-up to the group's greatest hit, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."
