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
|
