Tommy collins roll truck roll lyrics

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
