Roll On

Roll on highway roll on along
Roll on daddy 'till you get back home
Roll on family roll on crew
Roll on mama like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen wheeler roll on roll on
Well it's Monday morning he's kissing mama goodbye
He's up and gone with the sun daddy drives an eighteen wheeler and he's off on a Midwest run
The three sad faces gather 'round mama they ask her when daddy's coiming 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 tells them that he loves them
He taught 'em 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 mama like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen wheeler roll on roll on
Well it's Wednesday evening mama's waiting by the phone it rings but it's not his voice
Seems the highway patrol has found a jackknifed rig in a snowbank in Illinois
But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned 'cause 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 singing
Roll on highway roll on along
Roll on daddy 'till you get back home
Roll on family roll on crew
Roll on mama like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen wheeler roll on mama and the children will be waiting up all night long thinkin' nothing but the worst is coming with the ringing of the telephone
Oh but the Man upstairs was list'ning when mama asked Him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end asking her if she had been oh singing this song singing
Roll on highway roll on along
Roll on daddy 'till you get back home
Roll on family roll on crew
Roll on mama 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 mama 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;
