Giddy Up Go Lyrics

Cause I told 'em about that little boy of mine



And how his first word about that old truck was Giddyup Go



Well today I was barrelin' down old 66 



When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig



Both stacks of blowin' black coal



And as she pulled around and back in front of me



A big ole lump came in my throat



And my eyes watered like I had a bad old cough



A little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddyup Go



Well I pushed old Giddyup Go stayed right on him



Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up



I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup



Well we got to talkin' shop and I said



Now did you come by the name on your truck Giddyup Go



Well he said I got it from my pop



Dad used to drive a truck that's what mom talked about a lot



You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen



And I lost all track of pop cause mom said he got the name from me



I shook his hand and told him that I had something I wanted him to see



I took him out to the old truck



And brushed off some of the dirt so the name would show



And his eyes got big and bright as he read Giddyup Go



Oh we had a lot of things to talk about and buddy I felt like a king



And now we've just pulled back on the old 66



And he's handled that big rig



Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever seen



Well sir now the lines on the highway have got much brighter glow



As we go roarin' down the road



And me starin' at a little sign that reads Giddyup Go
