Tell Us Your Favorite
"Truck or Trucking" Songs





*Video*





Joe Diffie ~ Pickup Man


Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before
I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand
There's something women like about a pickup man

When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
I was cruising the town and the first girl I seen
Was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab
And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man".




*Video*





Grateful Dead ~ Truckin'


Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans;
New York's got the ways and means; but just won't let you be, oh no.

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home.
One of these days they know they better get goin'
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

Howdy, LUV!

Boring day at the HQ. NO ONE came in. The other gal who was there and I had the same feeling about the whole thing - - we’ll be glad when the election is over so we don’t have to waste our time there any more. We both have things we could be doing the need to be done instead. Oh well, just a few more weeks.

Been watching yesterday’s hearing with Comey while running loads of laundry this evening.

How’d your day go? Was it a work day or a play day?

Another work day and 2 more before my day off on Sunday. Then 2 more and then my trip!

I’m just trying to figure out when to tell them I’m leaving. I wanted to do it on Tuesday, but the manager isn’t there then...and not there on Monday. I guess I could wait till I get back. I wanted it to be the “official” 2 weeks, but since I’m not wanting to come back...I’m pretty sure...I guess it’s not really necessary.LOL!

I’m sorry that y’all aren’t any busier. Does this say something about the election? I’ll be glad when the comedy ends, too. it’s getting too weird! I doubt anyone there...or here...is going to vote for HilLIARy anyway, huh!

Good evening, radu...are your days getting busier at HQ?

I had a good day, which was nice for a change. But, man, am I tired.

WHOA!!! You’re gonna go ahead and do it? Retire?!! Well, well, well! LOL

WOOHOO! Your other trip is already that close, huh? For some reason, I thought it was later in the month. You’ve been champin’ at the bit for this one and I hope the weather’s great the whole time.

We’ve been slow all along and I’d say it says a lot about this election. There are a few who are jazzed about it - on both sides - but most are not.
Hitlery has her fans here but they aren’t advertising it much. Still only a couple of yard signs I’ve seen in my travels. Trump signs outnumber them.

I am gonna do it. I asked hubby what he thought and he wouldn’t say one way or the other. I really think he’s gonna hate having me around so much. LOL!

Besides, I started working without asking his advice...I guess I have to do this on my own too. I waffle a little but when I think of the Christmas season and those lines out the door...THEN I know! :)

I just wonder if it’s just going to be dead people and stupid people who vote for her. What a dumb question...of course it is! :) How much longer do y’all have to sit it out? I hope you keep plenty of Coke on hand.

Howdy, Kathy! Glad you FINALLY had a decent day at work. ‘Bout dang time, huh? Did you get ANY sleep last night?

HQ days are snoozers and we’ll be glad when we can close the place. Wasted time when we could be doing something productive. Only a few more weeks.

More frost on the pumpkins this morning?

It was another chilly night here last night and a chilly day. Mid 60s with a brisk north wind. First time in months I’ve worn jeans, long sleeves, and a sweater. AND shoes and socks. LOL! The tootsies weren’t happy being enclosed after so long with flip flops or sandals.

You’ve been threatening to do it for a while and I was wondering if you’d really do it. The thought of the upcoming Christmas shopping season is a good incentive!

Yep, dumb question. LOL! We all know the answer to it.
We’ll stick it out until election day, then shut it down.

I always take along a 2-liter Coke and stick it in the fridge to sip on while there. Gotta have that caffeine to stay awake!
