midi playing: "Convoy" by C W McCall
When Jon was a child, this was his favorite song...he spent many hours driving a convoy of toy trucks around the dining
room table, crashing through a barricade of blocks. Perhaps that is what made him chose this profession? If you
view our YouTube site, you can see that we often have a convoy going down the road...but as far as I know, they haven't
crashed through any police road blocks.
Jon still knows every word to this song.

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, "pig pen, 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, pig pen, 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.

the cb]
Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, pig pen? negatory, pig pen; 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, "pig pen, 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, pig pen, what's your twenty?
Convoy! omaha? well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure.
well, mercy
Convoy! sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your...
