Roll On Eighteen Wheeler [D]Alabama

Chorus
D Roll on highway, roll on G along, D Roll on daddy till you get back G home
D Roll on family, roll on G crew, D Roll on momma like I asked you to do,
Em And roll on eighteen-Awheeler, roll on.

Verse 1
Well, it's D Monday morning, he's kissin momma goodbye, He's up and gone with the Bm sun
G Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler, and he's off on a D midwest run
As D three sad faces gather round momma, they ask her when daddy's comin Bm home
G Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And they sure miss him when he's D gone yeah they do
Ah, but he G calls them every D night, And Em he tells them that he loves A them,
And he taught them this song to sing.

Chorus
D Roll on highway, roll on D along, Roll on daddy till you get G back home
D Roll on family, roll on G crew, D Roll on momma like I asked you to do,
Em And roll on eighteen-Awheeler, roll on.

Verse 2
Well, it's D Wednesday evening, momma's waitin by the phone, It rings but it's not his Bm voice
Seems the G highway patrol has found a jackknifed rig, In a snow bank in D Illinois
But the D driver was missin And the search had been abandoned.
Cause the weather had everything Bm stalled
And they had G checked all the houses and the local motels,
When they had some more news they'd D call
And she G told them when they D found him, To Em tell him that she loved A him,
And she hung up the phone singin.

Chorus

Bridge
Bm Momma and the children will be F waiting up all night long
Thinkin' G nothing but the worst is comin With the D ringin of the telephone
Oh, but the Bm man upstairs was listening When momma asked G him to bring daddy home
And when the Em call came in it was daddy on the other end A Askin' her
if she had been singin the song, singin.

Chorus
D Roll on highway, roll on D along, Roll on daddy till you get G back home
D Roll on family, roll on G crew, D Roll on momma like I asked you to do,
Em And roll on eighteen-A wheeler, roll on.
