Roll, Truck, Roll

I'm goin' down the 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

Roll truck roll, take me to my baby

I'm tired of bein' alone

Roll truck roll, I wanna see my baby

Roll truck, roll me on home

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 little Danny's not doin' too good in school

Said he keeps talkin' about his dad that he hardly knows

Teacher said he just sits at his desk 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 showin' on me too

I saw a lotta country at first, and I liked it then

But anymore there's just none of it new

Aw, what a long ol' haul this one's been

I've had rain most of the way, and now it's beginnin' to pour

It sure looks cold, that wind blowin' up through that canyon

But I gotta keep my spirits up, so I guess I'll sing a little more

I'm goin' down 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

Roll truck roll, take me to my baby

I'm tired of bein' alone

Roll truck roll, I wanna see my baby

Roll truck, roll me on home

Roll truck, roll me on home
