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, its Monday morning
Hes kissin momma goodbye
Hes up and gone with the sun
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And hes off on a Midwest run
And three sad faces gather round momma
They ask her when daddys comin home
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when hes 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, its Wednesday evening
Mommas waitin by the phone
It rings but its 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 theyd 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…
