Convoy

(C.W. McCall, B. Fries, C. Davis)

From the album Black Bear Road.

[On the CB]

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck. You gotta copy on me, Big

Ben, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Big Ben, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it's

clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon. Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Big Ben,

yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks

like we got us a convoy...

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

In a Kenworth pullin' logs

Cab-over Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh

'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town

I says, "Big Ben, this here's the Rubber Duck.

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

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a little convoy

Rockin' through the night.

Yeah, we got a little 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 U-S-A.

Convoy!

[On the CB]

Ah, breaker, Big Ben, this here's the Duck. And, you wanna back off them

hogs? Yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. Ten, roger. Them hogs is gettin'

IN-tense up here.

By the time we got into Tulsa Town,

We had eighty-five trucks in all.

But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,

And them bears was wall-to-wall.

Yeah, them smokies is 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."

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a great big convoy

Rockin' through 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 U-S-A.

Convoy!

[On the CB]

Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Big Ben? Negatory, Big Ben; you're

still too close. Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. Mercy

sakes, you better back off another ten.

Well, we rolled up Interstate 44

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'd brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinoise National Guard.

There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,

And rigs of ev'ry size.

Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears

And choppers filled the skies.

Well, we shot the line and we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus

In a chartreuse micra-bus.

[On the CB]

Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen, you

wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's

haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore

And prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.

I says, "Big Ben, this here's the Rubber Duck.

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

So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight

I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a mighty convoy

Rockin' through 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 U-S-A.

Convoy!

Ah, 10-4, Big Ben, what's your twenty?

OMAHA? Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure. Well, mercy sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your...
