E                 A                 B            E 
Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone  
                 C#m                         A                              E 
I guess I didn't know you could do that, God help me, have I been gone that long  
E                   A                B        E 
I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line  
                 C#m                       A                             E 
They got all the big trucks here, boy, you ought to hear the big diesels whine  
B                                             E 
No little guy, your daddy won't be home for a while  
              C#m                      A                       B 
It's gonna be another couple weeks and another couple thousand miles  

Refrão -------------
   E                  A        E  
So go to sleep little rock 'n' roller  
     A                             E  
Your daddy's up there knockin' 'em dead tonight  
B                      A    
One of these days when you're a little older  
F#                           B                    E 
You can ride the big bus and everything will be alright  
E                           A       E  
Until that day you got your mama to hold you  
A                        E         
Don't be afraid when she turns out the light  
      A                                E 
Cause I know there's an angel just for rock 'n' rollers  
B                          E 
Watchin' over you and your daddy tonight

E                    A           B           E 
No little guy, don't bother your mamma right now  
  C#m                     A                        E  
I only got a minute and I called to talk to you anyhow  
E                   A             B              E 
I know you miss me, God knows I'm thinkin' 'bout you  
           C#m                      A                               E 
I got your picture in my wallet, it cheers me up sometimes when I'm blue  
B                                          E 
Well little guy, I'm gonna have to let you go  
              C#m                                A                    B 
You know it's way past your bedtime, and they're tellin' me we got to roll
