Verse 1:
Now he makes his livin' out on the road
18-wheeler's rollin' through the night
When his eyes get heavy on that old blacktop
He pulls that rig into the truck stop
Pre-Chorus 1:
And he falls asleep
But in his dreams
Chorus:
Now he's walkin' through the front door
To a little girl jumpin' in his arms
And kiss from the woman that he loves
And it's "Goodnight, Baby. Daddy missed you."
Tiptoeing to the bedroom
Makin' love and makin' up for lost time
Breaker-Breaker 1-9
Daddy's coming home tonight
Verse 2:
Now he wakes up with a smile on his face
Heads back out on that lonesome highway
And it's one more run down to Oklahoma
Then back up to Minnesota
Pre-Chorus 2:
Oh, but with every mile that goes by
Chorus:
Now he's walkin' through the front door
To a little girl jumpin' in his arms
And kiss from the woman that he loves
And it's "Goodnight, baby. Daddy missed you."
Tiptoeing to the bedroom
Makin love and makin' up for lost time
Breaker-Breaker 1-9 (Breaker-Breaker 1-9)
Daddy's coming home tonight
Bridge:
It's been seven long days
And now we're staring out the window
As he pulls into the driveway
Final Chorus:
And now he's walkin' through the front door
To a little girl jumpin' in his arms
And kiss from the woman that he loves
And it's "Goodnight, Baby. Daddy missed you."
Tiptoeing to the bedroom
Makin love and makin' up for lost time
Breaker-Breaker 1-9 (Breaker-Breaker 1-9)
It's been a long hard life
Daddy's coming home
Daddy's coming home tonight
