[G]
Hey, how about [Dm] you Alabama?
Roll on!
[Gbm]
[E] Roll on highway, roll [A] on along, [E] roll on daddy till you get [A] back home.
[E] Roll on family, [A] roll on crew, [E] roll on mama like I ask you to do.
[Gbm] Roll on [B] 18-wheeler, [E] roll on.
Roll on!
[A] [E]
[A] Well [E] it's Monday morning, he's kissing mama goodbye.
He's up and gone with [Dbm] the sun.
[A] Daddy drives an 18 [A]-wheeler, and he's off on a [E]
Midwest run.
And three sad faces gather round mama, they ask her when daddy's [Dbm] coming home.
[A] Daddy drives an 18-wheeler, and they sure miss [E] him when he's gone.
[A] Ah, but he calls [Abm] her every [Gbm] night and tells her [B] that he loves her.
He taught her this song [E] to sing.
Roll on highway, roll [A] on along, [E] roll on daddy till you get [A] back home.
[E] Roll on family, roll [A] on crew, [E] roll on mama like I ask you to do.
[Gbm] And roll on [B] 18-wheeler, [E] roll on. Roll on!
[A] [F]
[Bb] [F] Well it's Wednesday evening, mama's waiting by the phone.
It rings, but it's not [Dm] his voice.
[Bb] Seems the highway patrol has found a jackknifed rig in a snowbank in [F] Illinois.
But the driver was missing, and the search had been abandoned.
Cause the weather had [Dm] everything stalled.
And [Bb] they had checked all the houses and the local motels.
When they had some more news, [F] they'd call.
And [Bb] she told him when they [Am] found [Gm] him, to tell him that [C] she loved him.
And she hung up the phone, singing.
[F] Roll on highway, roll [Bb] on along, [F] roll on daddy till you get [Bb] back home.
[F] Roll on family, roll [Bb] on crew, [F] roll on mama like I ask you to do.
[Gm] And roll on [C] 18 -wheeler, [Dm] roll on.
Mama and the children [Am] will be waiting up all night long.
[Bb] Thinking nothing but the worst is coming, [F] with the ringing of the telephone.
[Dm] Oh, but the man upstairs was listening, when [Bb] mama asked him to bring daddy home.
And [Gm] when the call came in, it was daddy on the other [C] end, asking her if she'd had dinner.
Singing, it's all [F] singing.
Roll on highway, [Bb] roll on along, [F] roll on daddy till you get [Bb] back home.
[F] Roll on family, roll [Bb] on crew, [F] roll on mama like I ask you to [Gm] do.
And roll on [C] 18 -wheeler, [F] roll on highway, roll on along.
Roll on daddy till you get back home.
Roll on family, roll [Bb] on crew, [F] roll on mama like I ask you to do.
[Gm] And roll on [C] 18-wheeler, [F] roll on.
Roll on!
