Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) - Short Version

Roll on highway, roll on along
 Roll on, Daddy, 'til 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 kissin' Mama 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 Mama
 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 'em 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, Mama, like I asked you to do
 And roll on, eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on)
 Well, it's Wednesday evening
 Mama'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 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, 'til 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 words just comin'
 With the ringin' of the telephone
 Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
 When Mama 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, 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
