Convoy Lyrics

LEGEND: 

        (sung by background singers)

 

 

 

 

 

 It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

 And a Kenworth pullin' logs

 Cab-over Pete with a reefer on

 And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

 We's headin' for bear on Eye-one-oh

 'bout a mile outta Shakeytown

 I says "Pigpen, this here's Rubber Duck"

 "And I'm about to put the hammer down"

 

 ('cause we got a little ole convoy rockin' thru the night)

 (Yeah, we got a little ole convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

 (Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

 (We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

 (Convoy)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 By the time we got into Tulsa-town we had 85 trucks in all

 But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf

 And them bears 's wall-to-wall

 Yeah, them smokeys 's thick as bugs on a bumper

 They even had a bear in the air

 I says "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck"

 "We about to go a-huntin' bear"

 

 ('cause we got a great big convoy rockin' thru the night)

 (Yeah, we got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

 (Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

 (We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

 (Convoy)

 

 

 

 Well, we rolled up Interstate Forty-Four

 Like a rocket-sled on rails

 We tore up all of our swindle sheets

 And left 'em settin' on the scales

 By the time we hit that "Chi-town"

 Them bears was a-gettin smart

 They brought up some reinforcements

 From the "Illinoise" National Guard

 

 There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps

 'n' rigs of ev'ry size

 Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears

 And choppers filled the skies

 Well, we shot the line, we went for broke

 With a thousand screamin' trucks

 And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus

 In a chartreuse microbus

 

 

 

 

 

 Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore

 Prepared to cross the line

 I could see the bridge was lined with bears

 But I didn't have a doggone dime

 I says "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck"

 "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"

 So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight

 I says "let them truckers roll, ten-four"

 

 ('cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' thru the night)

 (Yeah, we got a mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?)

 (Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way)

 (We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA)

 (Convoy)
