[Verse 1]
E
Well, it's Monday morning,
he's kissin momma goodbye,
C#m7
He's up and gone with the sun
A
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler,
E
and he's off on a midwest run
E
As three sad faces gather round momma,
C#m7 - B
they ask her when daddy's comin home
A
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
E
And they sure miss him when he's gone
(yeah they do)
A E/G#
Ah, but he calls them every night,
F#m B
And he tells them that he loves them,
And he taught them this
song to sing.
[Chorus]

Roll on highway, roll on along,

Roll on momma like I asked you to do,

roll on.
[Verse 2]
F
Well, it's Wednesday evening,
momma's waiting by the phone,
Dm
It rings but it's not his voice
A# F
Seems the highway patrol
has found a jackknifed rig,
F
In a snow bank in Illinois
F
But the driver was missing
And the search had been abandoned.
Cause the weather had everything
Dm
stalled
A#
And they had checked all the houses
and the local motels,
F
When they had some more news they'd call
A# F/A
And she told them when they found him,
Gm C
To tell him that she loved him,
And she hung up the phone
singing
[Chorus]
F A#
Roll on highway, roll on along,
F A#
Roll on daddy till you get back home
F A#
Roll on family, roll on crew,
F
Roll on momma like I asked you to do,
Gm C
And roll on eighteen-wheeler,
Dm
roll on.
[Bridge]
Dm
Momma and the children
Am7
will be waiting up all night long
A#
Thinkin' nothing but the worst is comin
F
With the ringin of the telephone
Dm
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
A#
When momma asked him to bring daddy home
Gm
And when the call came in
it was daddy on the other end
C
Askin' her if she had been singin the song,
singin.
[Chorus]
F A#
Roll on highway, roll on along,
F A#
Roll on daddy till you get back home
F A#
Roll on family, roll on crew,
F
Roll on momma like I asked you to do,
Gm C
And roll on eighteen-wheeler,
F A#
Roll on highway, roll on along,
F A#
Roll on daddy till you get back home
F A#
Roll on family, roll on crew,
F
Roll on momma like I asked you to do,

And roll on eighteen-wheeler,
