Roll truck roll

I'm going down to Feather River Canyon

Gotta go down, Donner Summit is closed

Another eighty miles and I'm 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 doing too good in school

Said, he keeps talkin' about his daddy that he hardly knows

Teacher said that he just sits at his desk and draws the pictures of trucks

I guess I know what that means and what it shows

I'm not home three months out of the year

And here lately it's showing on me too

I saw a lot of country at first and I really like it then

But anymore there's just none of it new

Oh, what a long old haul this has been

Had rain most of the way, now it's beginning 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 going down to Feather River Canyon

Gotta go down, Donner Summit is closed

Another eighty miles and I'm sure 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
