Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) Songtext / Lyric

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



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



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

Mamma'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

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 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 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
