“Daddy’s Truck Is Rolling Home”
(Lullaby for Fallon & Lillian)
Verse 1
Hush now Fallon, close your sleepy eyes,
Lillian, my little lily, dream beneath the skies,
Daddy’s truck is humming on a long black line,
But every mile he’s driving brings him closer home in time.
Pre-Chorus
Through the diesel songs and the midnight lights,
Through the lonely roads and the quiet nights,
Your names are riding in his heart so tight.
Chorus
So sleep, my girls, don’t you worry none,
Daddy’s working hard ’til the morning sun,
Counting down the miles one by one,
Two little angels he’s coming home to hug.
Fallon’s laugh and Lillian’s smile,
Make every long road worth the while,
Close your eyes just for a while,
Daddy’s truck is rolling home.
Verse 2
Fallon strong like a summer breeze,
Lillian soft like the willow trees,
Daddy sees your faces in the stars above,
Shining like the sweetest kind of love.
Pre-Chorus
From the oilfield dust to the highway lines,
He whispers prayers at the state line signs,
“Keep my babies safe tonight.”
Chorus
So sleep, my girls, don’t you worry none,
Daddy’s working hard ’til the job is done,
Every mile underneath that sun,
Leads him back to where you are.
Fallon’s giggle, Lillian’s curls,
You’re Daddy’s whole wide world,
Dream sweet dreams, my precious girls,
Daddy’s truck is rolling home.
Bridge (Soft & Slow)
When the big rig pulls in the drive,
And the porch light flickers alive,
Two tiny feet will run outside,
And Daddy’ll hold you close.
Final Chorus (Whispered)
So sleep now Fallon, sleep Lillian,
Daddy’s coming home again,
Through the dark and through the wind,
His love is never gone.
Close your eyes, count to ten,
He’ll be back before you know it, amen,
Two sweet girls tucked in tight,
Daddy’s rolling home tonight.
