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".

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.

Phantom 309 Tommy Faile 1967 I still remember it like it was brand new. Sent a chill up my 15 year old spine. A ghost story for all time.

One of the things I love about "songs" nite is I am always learning something. I always believed Hank Snow wrote the song, but your post inspired me to dig into it.

I found this video, by the writer, Geoff Mack, an Aussie!
