Roll on highway,
roll on along.

Roll on, Daddy,
'til you get back home.

Roll on family,
roll on crew.

Roll on, Mama,
like I asked you to do.

And roll on eighteen wheeler,
roll on, roll on.

Well, it's Monday morning,
he's kissing Mama goodbye.
He's up and gone with the sun.

Daddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
and he's off on a Midwest run.

The three sad faces
gather 'round Mama;

they ask her
when Daddy's coming home.

Daddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
and they sure miss him when he's gone,
yeah, they do.

Ah, but he calls them ev'ry night
and tells them
that he loves them.

He taught 'em 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, Mama,
like I asked you to do.

And roll on eighteen wheeler,
roll on, roll on.

Well, it's Wednesday evening,
Mama's waitin' by the phone;
it rings but it's not his voice.

Seems the highway patrol
has found a jackknifed rig
in a snowbank in Illinois.

But the driver was missin',
and the search had been abandoned
'cause the weather had ev'rything stalled.

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, singing:

"Roll on highway,
roll on along.

Roll on, Daddy,
'til you get back home.

Roll on family,
roll on crew.

Roll on, Mama,
like I asked you to do.

And roll on eighteen wheeler,
roll on."

Mama and the children
will be waiting up all night long,

thinkin' nothing but the worst
is coming with the ringing
of the telephone.

Oh, but the Man upstairs was list'ning
when Mama asked Him
to bring Daddy home.

And when the call came in,
it was Daddy on the other end,

asking her if she had been,
oh, singing this song, singing:

Roll on highway,
roll on along.

Roll on, Daddy,
'til you get back home.

Roll on family,
roll on crew.

Roll on, Mama,
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, Mama,
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, roll on,
roll on, roll on.
