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