[Verse 1]
A
Well it's Monday mornin', he's 
kissin' mama goodbye.
                          C#m
He's up and gone with the sun.
A
Daddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
                              E
and he's off on a midwest run.

A
And three sad faces gather 'round 
mama.
They ask her when daddy's comin' 
C#m
home.
A
Daddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
and they sure miss him when he's 
E
gone.

[Climb 1]
           A               G#m    
Ah, but he calls 'em ev'ry night 
   F#7
and tells 'em
              B
that he loves them.

He taught 'em this song to sing:

[Chorus 1]
E                         A
Roll On highway, Roll On along.
E                             
Roll On daddy till you get back 
  A
home.

 On.

[Verse 2]
Bb        F
Well it's Wednesday evening.

Mama's waitin' by the phone.
                          Dm
It rings but it's not his voice.
              Bb
Seems the highway patrol has found a
 jack-knifed rig
                          F
in a snowbank in Illinois.


But the driver was missin',

and the search had been abandoned
'cause the weather had ev'rything 
Dm
stalled.
             Bb
And they had checked all the houses 
and the local motels;
when they had some more news they'd 
      F
call.

[Climb 2]
             Bb             Am    
And she told them when they found 
            Gm7
him to tell him
               C
that she loved him.

And she hung up the phone singin':

[Chorus 2]
F                             Bb
Roll On highway, Roll On along.
F                               
Roll On daddy till you get back 
Bb
home.
F                       Bb
Roll On family, Roll On crew.
F
Roll On mama like I asked you to do.
    Gm               C            
And Roll On Eighteen Wheeler, Roll
    Dm
 On.

[Bridge]
Dm                          
Mama and the children will be 
  Am7
waiting up all night long,
         Bb
thinkin' nothin' but the worst is 
comin'
             F
with the ringin' of the telephone.
            Dm
Oh, but the Man upstairs was 
list'nin'
          Bb
when Mama 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 a-singin'
 the song, singin':

D PEAT Chorus 2, but instead of Dm 
at the end of "Roll On Eighteen 
Wheeler,
Roll On", make it an F.
