Roll on highway, roll on along |
|
Roll on daddy till you get back home |
|
Roll on family, roll on crew |
|
Roll on momma like I asked you to do |
|
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on) |
|
Well it's Monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye |
|
He's up and gone with the sun |
|
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler |
|
And he's off on a midwest run |
|
As three sad faces gather 'round momma |
|
They ask her when daddy's comin' home |
|
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler |
|
And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do) |
|
Ah, but he calls them every night and he tells them that he loves them |
|
He taught them this song to sing |
|
Roll on highway, roll on along |
|
Roll on daddy till you get back home |
|
Roll on family, roll on crew |
|
Roll on momma like I asked you to do |
|
And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on) |
|
Well it's Wednesday evening, momma's waitin' by the phone |
|
It rings but it's not his voice |
|
Seems the highway patrol has found a jack-knifed rig |
|
In a snow bank in Illinois |
|
But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned |
|
For the weather had everything stalled |
|
And they had checked all the houses and the local motels |
|
When they had some more news they'd call |
|
And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him |
|
And she hung up the phone singin' |
|
Roll on highway, roll on along |
|
Roll on daddy till you get back home |
|
Roll on family, roll on crew |
|
Roll on momma like I asked you to do |
|
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on |
|
Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long |
|
Thinkin' nothing but the worst is comin' |
|
With the ringin' of the telephone |
|
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening |
|
When momma asked him to bring daddy home |
|
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end |
|
Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin' |
|
Roll on highway, roll on along |
|
Roll on daddy till you get back home |
|
Roll on family, roll on crew |
|
Roll on momma like I asked you to do |
|
And roll on eighteen-wheeler |
|
Roll on highway, roll on along |
|
Roll on daddy till you get back home |
|
Roll on family, roll on crew |
|
Roll on momma like I asked you to do |
|
And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on) |
|
Eighteen-wheeler |
|
Eighteen-wheeler |
|
Eighteen-wheeler |
|
Eighteen-wheeler |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
|
Roll on |
