Roll Truck, Roll

Roll Truck, Roll - Tommy Collins

Written by：T. Collins

I'm going down to

Feather river

Canyon I gotta go down

Donner summit is closed

Another eighty miles and

I sure am lonesome cause

I'll be late getting home

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

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

Tom is not doing too well in school

Said he keeps talking about his daddy that he hardly knows

The teacher said that he just sits

At his desk all day and draws the 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

I saw a lot of the country at first and

I really like it then

But anymore there's just none of it new

Ooh what a long old ball this has been

And had rain most of the way and now it's beginning to pour

Sure looks cold with that wind blowing up the canyon

But I gotta keep my spirits up so

I guess I'll just sing a little more

I'm going down to

Feather river

I'm going down to Feather River Canyon gotta

Another eighty miles and I sure am lonesome cause I'll be late getting home

Roll truck roll take me to my baby I'm tired of being alone

Roll truck roll I wanna see my baby roll truck roll me on home

Roll truck roll me on home

Roll truck roll me on home

Roll truck roll me on home
