That's a great song, but it's sacrilegious to suggest that it's even close to "Amarillo By Morning" as the greatest country song of all time. LOL.

Heck -- it's not even the greatest country song about trucking! That award can only go to this classic:

Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses -- Kathy Mattea

The clip at the beginning seems a bit corny, but it's actually relevant to the background of the song. Supposedly Mattea was inspired to put together a song like this after meeting an old trucker at a truck stop who said he was on his last ride before retirement.

Not to me, it doesn't. Maybe I've spent too many hours on the road far from home ... and was doing so when that song came out.
