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
 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
 And 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 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 missin'
 And the search had been abandoned
 'Cause the weather had everything strong
 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 and tell him
 That she loved him
 And she hung up the phone singin'
 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
 Thinkin' nothing but the words just 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 '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...
