Roll Truck Roll

[Verse 1]
I'm going down to Feather River Canyon
Gotta go down, Donner Summit is closed
Another eighty miles and I sure am lonesome
'cause I'll be late gettin' home

[Chorus]
Roll, truck, roll, take me to my baby
I'm tired of being alone
Roll, truck, roll, I wanna see my baby
Roll me, truck, roll me on home

[Verse 2]
One of these days, I'm gonna quit this old road
When I've saved enough money
Gonna buy me a place back home and live a little
Just me and my kids and my honey
Mama said that little Tommy's not doing too well in school
Said he keeps talking about his daddy that he hardly knows
The teacher said he just sits at his desk all day
And draws pictures of trucks
I guess I know what that means and what it shows
Why, I'm not home three months out of the year
And here lately it's showing on me, too
Oh, I saw a lot of the country at first, and I really liked it then
But anymore, there's just none of it new
Oh, what a long old haul this one's been
I've had rain most of the way
And now, it's beginning to pour
Sure looks cold, that wind blowing up through that canyon
But I gotta keep my spirits up, so I guess I'll just sing a little more

[Verse 2]
I'm going down to Feather River Canyon
Gotta go down, Donner Summit is closed
Another eighty miles and I sure am lonesome
'cause I'll be late gettin' home

[Chorus]
Roll, truck, roll, take me to my baby
I'm tired of being alone
Roll, truck, roll, I wanna see my baby
Roll me, truck, roll me on home
