|
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 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 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 |
|
Canyon... |
|
Roll me truck roll me on home |
