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
