East bound and down<\/a><\/p>\n

When I think of truck songs, the first song that comes to mind is the one in the Smokey movie sung by Jerry Reed. I love that driving beat and the banjo picking. The first time I saw the Smokey and the Bandit movie was in Johannesburg, South Africa. We had just returned from a trip to the States, and it made me want to go back. When we were first in the States, we were in South Carolina, and some guys had a CB radio. It tied in so well with that movie. The people seemed so free and easy, just like in the movie. However, I don\u2019t agree with everything in the movie. I personally do not drink beer.<\/p>\n

Six days on the road<\/a><\/p>\n

When we first visited the States we heard this song advertised on the TV. I had never heard of the song or Dave Dudley before, but we just heard that last line, and I was hooked on it. It became one of my favorite songs.<\/p>\n

Trucker song about Teddy Bear<\/a><\/p>\n

When we immigrated to Canada I was working as an assistant superintendent at an apartment building. One day I was fixing something in a tenants apartment and the lady was playing this song. I loved it, and later got a recording of it. Real heart touching human drama.<\/p>\n

On the road again<\/a><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t resist putting old Willie in here with his traveling song, although I guess his was in a big bus, not a truck. But it is that same feeling of blue skies and the open road.<\/p>\n

The Legend<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gonna to go to glory riding 18 wheels.\u201d That line was in my mind, and as I looked for that song I find that Jerry Reed has passed away. Sorry to hear that. I hope he went to Glory. Jesus said He is the only way to the Father, and I want everyone to be saved. Why don\u2019t you say a prayer now, and give your heart to Jesus? Then you will go to Glory too.<\/p>\n

Phantom 309<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a spooky song I heard on the radio once, and found it just now. Hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n
