Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)

Hey, how 'bout you, Alabama?

Roll on

Roll on highway, roll on along

Roll on, daddy, 'til 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 kissing momma goodbye

He's up and gone with the sun

Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler

And he's off on a midwest run

And three sad faces gather 'round momma

They ask her when daddy's coming 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 them this song to sing

Roll on highway, roll on along

Roll on, daddy, 'til 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 jackknifed rig

In a snow bank in Illinois

But the driver was missing

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, 'til 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

Thinking nothing but the worst is coming

With the ringing 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

Asking her if she had been singing the song, singing

Roll on highway, roll on along

Roll on, daddy, 'til 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, 'til 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
