“Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)” is a classic song by the country band Alabama, released in January 1984 as the lead single from their album Roll On. The song quickly became a hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
The song tells the story of a truck driver who hauls goods across the country in his eighteen-wheeler. It emphasizes the importance of family and the support they provide, particularly in times of worry. The trucker’s family prays for his safe return after hearing about a potential accident. The upbeat chorus is both a rallying cry for truck drivers and a tribute to their resilience. With its catchy melody and emotional lyrics, “Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)” remains a favorite in Alabama’s catalog.
