Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone
|
I guess I didn't know you could do that, God help me, have I been gone that long
|
I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line
|
They got all the big trucks here, boy, you ought to hear the big diesels whine
|
No little guy, your daddy won't be home for a while
|
It's gonna be another couple weeks and another couple thousand miles
|
|
So got to sleep little rock 'n' roller
|
Your daddy's up there knockin' 'em dead tonight
|
One of these days when you're a little older
|
You can ride the big bus and everything will be alright
|
Until that day you got your mama to hold you
|
Don't be afraid when she turns out the light
|
Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers
|
Watchin' over you and your daddy tonight
|
|
No little guy, don't bother your mamma right now
|
'Cause I only got a minute and I called to talk to you anyhow
|
I Know you miss me, God knows I'm thinkin' 'bout you
|
I got your picture in my wallet, it cheers me up sometimes when I'm blue
|
Well little guy, I'm gonna have to let you go
|
You know it's way past your bedtime, and they're tellin' me we gotta roll
|
