Hap Palmer - Truck Driver's Song lyrics

While you're sleeping safe in bed I'll be roarin' on ahead From the Colorado snows To where the Mississippi flows To bring the clothes you wear And the food your family shares I drive wherever something needs to go Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night Thirty tons of rumblin' steel Movin' by on eighteen wheels Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light When I drive a heavy load Down some steep and winding road I hit the pedal prayin' That the air brakes slow me down Through the danger and the dust I'll deliver what I must Someday I might come Drivin' through your town Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night Thirty tons of rumblin' steel Movin' by on eighteen wheels Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light I left Idaho just an hour ago Got to make it down to Denver by tomorrow I'll fill up on the way when I stop at Jean's Cafe Then drive on to race the breaking light of day Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night Thirty tons of rumblin' steel Movin' by on eighteen wheels Hear me rollin' rollin' Down the highway at night I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light I'll be rollin in the early mornin' light
