    Verse 1
    Well, 
    it's 
    Monday 
    morning 

    he's 
    kissin' 
    Momma 
    goodbye 

    He's 
    up 
    and 
    gone 
    with 
    the 
    sun 

    Daddy 
    drives 
    an 
    eighteen-wheeler 

    And 
    he's 
    off 
    on 
    Midwest 
    run 

    As 
    three 
    sad 
    faces 
    gather 
    'round 
    Momma 

    They 
    ask 
    her 
    when 
    Daddy's 
    comin' 
    home 

    Daddy 
    drives 
    an 
    eighteen-wheeler 

    And 
    they 
    sure 
    miss 
    him 
    when 
    he's 
    gone 

    (yeah 
    they 
    do) 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Ah, 
    but 
    he 
    calls 
    them 
    every 
    night 

    and 
    tells 
    them 
    that 
    he 
    loves 
    them 

    Chorus 2
    He 
    taught 
    'em 
    this 
    song 
    to 
    sing: 

    Roll 
    on 
    highway, 
    roll 
    on 
    a
    long 

    Roll 
    on 
    Daddy 
    till 
    you 
    get 
    back 
    home 

    Roll 
    on 
    family, 
    roll 
    on 
    crew 

    Roll 
    on 
    Momma 
    like 
    asked 
    you 
    to 
    do 

    And 
    roll 
    on, 
    eighteen- 
    wheeler, 

    roll 
    on 
    (Roll 
    on!) 


    Verse 2
    Well, 
    it's 
    Wednesday 
    evening, 

    Momma's 
    waitin' 
    by 
    the 
    phone 

    It 
    rings 
    but 
    it's 
    not 
    his 
    voice 

    Seems 
    the 
    highway 
    patrol 

    has 
    found 
    jack-knifed 
    rig 

    In 
    snow 
    bank 
    in 
    Illinois 

    But 
    the 
    driver 
    was 
    missin' 

    and 
    the 
    search 
    had 
    been 
    abandoned 

    'Cause 
    the 
    weather 
    had 
    everything 
    stalled 

    And 
    they 
    had 
    checked 
    all 
    the 
    houses 

    and 
    the 
    local 
    motels 

    When 
    they 
    had 
    some 
    more 
    news 
    they'd 
    call 

    Pre-chorus 2
    And 
    she 
    told 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    found 
    him 

    to 
    tell 
    him 
    that 
    she 
    loved 
    him 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    she 
    hung 
    up 
    the 
    phone 
    singin' 

    Roll 
    on 
    highway, 
    roll 
    on 
    a
    long 

    Roll 
    on 
    Daddy 
    till 
    you 
    get 
    back 
    home 

    Roll 
    on 
    family, 
    roll 
    on 
    crew 

    Roll 
    on 
    Momma 
    like 
    asked 
    you 
    to 
    do 

    And 
    roll 
    on, 
    eighteen- 
    wheeler, 
    roll 
    on 

    Bridge 1
    Momma 
    and 
    the 
    children 
    will 
    be 
    waiting 
    up 

    all 
    night 
    long 

    Thinkin' 
    nothing 
    but 
    the 
    worst 
    is 
    comin' 

    With 
    the 
    ring
    in' 
    of 
    the 
    telephone 

    Oh, 
    but 
    the 
    man 
    upstairs 
    was 
    listening 

    When 
    Momma 
    asked 
    him 

    to 
    bring 
    Daddy 
    home 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    call 
    came 
    in 

    it 
    was 
    Daddy 
    on

    her 
    if

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
