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.

And It Stoned Me ~~ Van Morrison

"Then the rain let up and the sun came up

And we were gettin' dry

Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by

So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

And he dropped us up the road,.........."

“Mother Trucker” — from the musical WORKING.

[Fiji Hill]

The Big Apple--Tommy Dorsey & His Clambake Seven (1937)

First you gather around, then you cover ground.
Do a bit of this, a bit of that, and then
Do a Fred Astaire, hands up in the air,
Truck around, and then you start right in again...

You Truck on down and Suzy Q,
Then shag a bit, and some Posin' too.
A Lindy Hop, you Peck a lot;
Put them all together and what have you got,
The Big Apple!

[Fiji Hill]

"A big improvement on the truckin' movement..."

Doin' the Suzie Q--Ina Rae Hutton & Her Orchestra (1937)

[Fiji Hill]

Truckin'--Ina Ray Hutton & Her Melodears (1936)

Really?

[luvie]

No....we shouldn’t do that, but I expect that they would want to know that we’re still concerned and still thinking of and praying for our FRiend! :)

Indeed. That’s the easy part. LOL! It’s when I look at the lake roads winding around that I get sort of lost on G. Earth. :)
