(diesel rig starting)
cb chatter (hey how bout ya alabama, roll on !!)
Roll on highway, roll on along,
roll on daddy till you get back home,
roll on family, roll on crew,
roll on mamma, like i asked ya ta do,
and roll on 18 wheeler, roll on (shout) roll on!!
Well it monday morninand' heand's kissing mamma goodbye,
heand's up an gone with the sun,
daddy drives and 18 wheeler, and heand's off on a midwest run,
And three sad faces gather and'round mamma,
they ask her when daddyand's cominand' home,
daddy drives and 18 wheeler,
and they sure miss him when heand's gone, spoken (yeah they do)
ah, but he calls them every night and tells and'em that he loves them,
he taught them this song ta sing,
(chorus)
roll on highway, roll on along,
roll on daddy till you get back home,
roll on family, roll on crew,
roll on mamma, like i asked ya ta do,
and roll on 18 wheeler, roll on (shout) roll on!!
Well itand's wednsday eveninand',
mammaand's waitinand' by the phone,
it rings but itand's not his voice,
seems the highway patrol has found a jack-knifed rig,
in a snow bank in illinois,
But the driver was missinand' and the search had been abandoned,
and'cause the weather had everything stalled,
and they had checked all the houses,
and the local motels,
when they had some more news theyand'd call,
and she told them when they found him, to tell him,
that she loved him, and she hung up the phone singinand'
(chorus)
roll on highway, roll on along,
roll on daddy till you get back home,
roll on family, roll on crew,
roll on mamma, like i asked ya ta do,
and roll on 18 wheeler, roll on.
Mamma, and the children will be waiting up all night long,
thinkin; nothinand' but the worst is cominand',
with the ringinand' of the telephone,
whow !!, but the man up stairs was listninand',
when mamma askand'd and'im ta bring daddy home,
and when the call came in, it was daddy on the other end,
asking her if she had been singinand' the song,
(singinand')
Roll on highway, roll on along,
roll on daddy till you get back home,
roll on family, roll on crew,
roll on mamma, like i asked ya ta do,
and roll on 18 wheeler,
Roll on highway, roll on along,
roll on daddy till you get back home,
roll on family, roll on crew,
roll on mamma, like i asked ya ta do,
and roll on 18 wheeler, roll on (shout) roll on!!
