[Intro 1]
[Truck SFX]
(Hey, how 'bout ya, Alabama? Roll on!)

[Chorus 1]
[C]Roll on highway, roll on a[F]long
[C]Roll on daddy till you get back [F]home
[C]Roll on family, roll on [F]crew
[C]Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And [Dm]roll on, eighteen- [G]wheeler, roll [C]on
(Roll [C]on!)[F]
[C][F]

[Verse 1]
Well, it's [C]Monday morning
he's kissin' Momma goodbye
He's up and gone with the [Am]sun
[F]Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And he's off on a Midwest [C]run
As three sad faces gather 'round Momma
They ask her when Daddy's comin' [Am]home
[F]Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when he's [C]gone
(yeah they do)

[Pre-chorus 1]
Ah, but he [F]calls them every [Em]night
and [Dm]tells them that he [G]loves them

[Chorus 2]
He taught 'em this song to sing:
[C]Roll on highway, roll on a[F]long
[C]Roll on Daddy till you get back [F]home
[C]Roll on family, roll on [F]crew
[C]Roll on Momma like I asked you to do
And [Dm]roll on, eighteen- [G]wheeler,
roll [C]on (Roll [F]on!)
[Db][Gb]

[Verse 2]
Well, it's [Db]Wednesday evening,
Momma's waitin' by the phone
It rings but it's not his [Bbm]voice
Seems the [Gb]highway patrol
has found a jack-knifed rig
In a snow bank in [Db]Illinois
But the [Db]driver was missin'
and the search had been abandoned
'Cause the weather had everything [Bbm]stalled
And they had [Gb]checked all the houses
and the local motels
When they had some more news they'd [Db]call

[Pre-chorus 2]
And she [Gb]told them when they [Fm]found him
to [Ebm]tell him that she l[Ab]oved him

[Chorus 3]
And she hung up the phone singin'
[Db]Roll on highway, roll on a[Gb]long
[Db]Roll on Daddy till you get back [Gb]home
[Db]Roll on family, roll on [Gb]crew
[Db]Roll on Momma like I asked you to do
And [Ebm]roll on, eighteen- w[Ab]heeler, roll o[Bbm]n

[Bridge 1]
[Bbm]Momma and the children will be [Fm]waiting up
all night long
Thinkin' [Gb]nothing but the worst is comin'
With the [Db]ringin' of the telephone
Oh, but the [Bbm]man upstairs was listening
When Momma [Gb]asked him
to bring Daddy home
And when the [Ebm]call came in
it was Daddy on the other end
[Ab]Askin' her if she had been

[Chorus 4]
a- singin' the song, singin'
[Db]Roll on highway, roll on a[Gb]long
[Db]Roll on Daddy till you get back [Gb]home
[Db]Roll on family, roll on [Gb]crew
[Db]Roll on Momma like I asked you to do
And [Ebm]roll on, eighteen- w[Ab]heeler

[Chorus 5]
[Db]Roll on highway, roll on a[Gb]long
[Db]Roll on Daddy till you get back [Gb]home
[Db]Roll on family, roll on [Gb]crew
[Db]Roll on Momma like I asked you to do
And [Ebm]roll on, eighteen- w[Ab]heeler, roll o[Db]n
(Roll [Gb]on!)

[Outro 1]
[Db]Eighteen- wheeler[Gb]
[Db]Eighteen- wheeler[Gb]
[Db]Eighteen- wheeler[Gb]
[Db]Eighteen- wheeler[Gb]
[Db]Roll on!
