Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) Capo 2
CHORUS:
DRoll on highway, roll on alonGg, DRoll on daddy till you get back hGome
DRoll on family, roll on crewG, DRoll on momma like I asked you to do, EmAnd roll on eighteen-wAheeler, roll on. 
VERSE:
Well, it's DMonday morning, he's kissin momma goodbye, He's up and gone with the sBmun
DaGddy drives an eighteen-wheeler, and he's off on a midDwest run
As thDree sad faces gather round momma, they ask her when daddy's comin hoBmme
DGaddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And they sure miss him when he's gDone (yeah they do)
Ah, but he caGlls them every Dnight, And Emhe tells them that he loves tAhem, And he taught them this song to sing.
DRoll on highway, roll on alonGg, DRoll on daddy till you get back hGome
DRoll on family, roll on crewG, DRoll on momma like I asked you to do, EmAnd roll on eighteen-wAheeler, roll on. 
Capo Up To 3RD Fret
Well, it's WednDesday evening, momma's waitin by the phone, It rings but it's not his Bmvoice
Seems the higGhway patrol has found a jackknifed rig, In a snow bank in IllDinois
But the drDiver was missin And the search had been abandoned. Cause the weather had everything sBmtalled
And they had cheGcked all the houses and the local motels, When they had some more news they'd cDall
And she tGold them when they fouDnd him, To Emtell him that she lovAed him, And she hung up the phone singin.
DRoll on highway, roll on alonGg, DRoll on daddy till you get back hGome
DRoll on family, roll on crewG, DRoll on momma like I asked you to do, EmAnd roll on eighteen-wAheeler, roll on. 
Bridge:
BmMomma and the children will be waiFting up all night long
Thinkin' noGthing but the worst is comin With the rDingin of the telephone
Oh, but the mBman upstairs was listening When momma asked hGim to bring daddy home
And when the cEmall came in it was daddy on the other end AskAin' her if she had been singin the song, singin.
DRoll on highway, roll on alonGg, DRoll on daddy till you get back hGome
DRoll on family, roll on crewG, DRoll on momma like I asked you to do, EmAnd roll on eighteen-wAheeler, roll on.
