Roll on high way.
Roll on long.

Well its Monday morning he's kissin momma goodby, he's up and gone with the sun. Daddy drives an 18 wheeler, and he's off on a mid-west run. And 3 sad faces gather round momma, they ask her when daddy's comin home.Daddy drives an 18 wheeler and they sure miss him when hes gone. Ah but he calls them every night and tells them that he loves them. He taught them this song to sing.

Roll on high way.
Roll on long.
Roll on daddy till you get back home.
Roll on family.
Roll on crew.
Roll on momma like I asked you to do.
And roll on 18 wheeler Roll on

Well its Wednesday evenin, mommas waitin by the phone. It rings but its not his voice. It seems the highway patrol has found a jack-knifed rig in a snow bank in Illinois. But the driver was missing and the search had been abandoned cause the weather had every thing stalled. And they had checked all the houses and the local motels. When they had some more news theyed 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 high way.
Roll on long.
Roll on daddy till you get back home.
Roll on family.
Roll on crew.
Roll on momma like I asked you to do.
And roll on 18 wheeler Roll on

Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long. Thinking nothing but the worst is coming with the rining of the telephone. Oh but the man upstairs was listning when momma 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 singing the song, singing.

Roll on high way.
Roll on long.
Roll on daddy till you get back home.
Roll on family.
Roll on crew.
Roll on momma like I asked you to do.
And roll on 18 wheeler Roll on

Roll on high way.

Roll on momma like I asked you to do.
And roll on 18 wheeler Roll on
