Verse 1
AWell it's Monday mornin', he's kissin' mama goodbye.
He's up and gone with the C♯msun.
ADaddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
and he's off on a midwest run.E

And three sad faces gather 'round mama.
They ask her when daddy's comin' C♯mhome.
ADaddy drives an eighteen wheeler,
and they sure miss him when he's Egone.

Climb 1:
Ah, but he Acalls 'em ev'ry G♯mnight and F♯7tells 'em
that he lovesB them.
He taught 'em this song to sing:

(repeat chorus 1) afterward, key changes from E to F

F    F B♭

Verse 2
B♭Well it's FWednesday evening.
Mama's waitin' by the phone.
It rings but it's not his Dmvoice.
Seems the high-B♭way patrol has found a jack-knifed rig
in a snowbank in Illinois.F

But the driver was missin',
and the search had been abandoned
'cause the weather had ev'rything Dmstalled.
And they had B♭checked all the houses and the local motels;
when they had some more news they'd call.F

Climb 2:
And she told B♭them when they Amfound him to tell Gm7him
that she lovedC him.
And she hung up the phone singin':

Chorus 2
FRoll On highway, Roll On a-B♭long.
FRoll On daddy till you get back B♭home.
FRoll on fam'ly, Roll On B♭crew.
FRoll On mama like I asked you to do.
And GmRoll On Eighteen CWheeler, Roll On. Dm

Bridge
DmMama and the children will be Am7waiting up all night long,
thinkin' B♭nothin' but the worst is comin'
with the ring-Fin' of the telephone.
Oh, but the DmMan upstairs was list'nin'
when Mama B♭asked him to bring Daddy home.
And when the Gmcall came in, it was Daddy on the other end,
Caskin' her if she had been a-singin' the song, singin':

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

F      B♭
FEighteen whee-B♭ler

FEighteen whee-B♭ler
