Roll On Eighteen Wheeler - 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-[A]wheeler, 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-[A]wheeler, 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.
[Outro]
[D] Eighteen-[G]wheeler,
[D] Eighteen-[G]wheeler,
[D] Eighteen-[G]wheeler,
[D] Eighteen-[G]wheeler,
[D] Roll on, Roll on...
