FReeper Canteen ~ Tell Us Your Favorite "Truck or Trucking" Songs ~ 30 September 2016

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.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

I’m surprised you got any sleep this week due to all the mess you had to deal with.

BRRR! After months of 90s, just thinking about 30s is enough to make me shiver. LOL! You’re almost into “real coat” weather up there.
NO ICE for you! If it won’t be cold enough for snow, it needs to stay dry. Driving on ice is a nightmare.

We’ll dip into the 40s again tonight and warm up into the low 70s tomorrow. 80s next week, which is perfect.

Sleep well and I hope tomorrow’s another easy day. All of you need a break.

Yes!! And I haven't had to drive in winter yet to the new place. Not looking forward to that.

Yikes! Hadn’t thought about that! Could be an “adventure” for you when you do get icy roads. No hurry for that!

I just can’t watch those hearings. They NEVER end up prosecuting any of the criminals that they question. NEVER!

Hope it didn’t take too many trips up and down the driveway to calm down. LOL!

We had a great time out at the lake yesterday. Nor turtles but it was fun walking in this weather.

I've always been fond of the version CW McCall and Mannheim Steamroller did of Wolf Creek Pass.

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Thank you, fatima, for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.

Didn't look like we had anymore rain last night.
Today is cloudy, with a little mist in the air.

Yup, running behind schedule again.
Slept in for a change.
Then, met DIL at the gym where we signed up for membership.
So, starting next Monday, I will be working out at 7 a.m.
I'm starting with 3 mornings a week, so
I'll be late on those days, for sure.

Gotta run.
Please stay...
chat up the troops and their families.

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful weekend.

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS open
for our Military, Allies, and families.Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
