Well, it's Wednesday evening,
Momma's waitin' by the phone
Dm
It rings but it's not his voice

Seems the highway patrol
has found a jack-knifed rig
F
In a snow bank in Illinois
F
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 Momma asked him
to bring Daddy home

And when the call came in
it was Daddy on the other end

Askin' her if she had been
a- singin' the song, singin'
