Truck Driver's Song Lyrics

While you're sleeping safe in bed
I'll be roarin' on ahead
From the Colorado snows
To where the Mississippi flows
To bring the clothes you wear
And the food your family shares
I drive wherever something needs to go

Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
Thirty tons of rumblin' steel
Movin' by on eighteen wheels
Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light

When I drive a heavy load
Down some steep and winding road
I hit the pedal prayin'
That the air brakes slow me down
Through the danger and the dust
I'll deliver what I must
Someday I might come
Drivin' through your town

Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
Thirty tons of rumblin' steel
Movin' by on eighteen wheels
Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light

I left Idaho just an hour ago
Got to make it down to Denver by tomorrow
I'll fill up on the way when I stop at Jean's Cafe
Then drive on to race the breaking light of day

Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
Thirty tons of rumblin' steel
Movin' by on eighteen wheels
Hear me rollin' rollin'
Down the highway at night
I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light
I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light
