Convoy - C.W. McCall

Lyrics by：Chip Davis/William Fries

Composed by：Chip Davis/William Fries

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

In a Kenworth pullin' logs

Cab-over Pete with a ** on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh

'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town

I says Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck

And I'm about to put the hammer down

'Cause we got a little convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah we got a little convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A

Convoy

Convoy

By the time we got into Tulsa Town

We had eighty-five trucks in all

But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf

And them bears was wall-to-wall

Yeah them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper

They even had a bear in the air

I says callin' all trucks this here's the Duck

We about to go a-huntin' bear

'Cause we got a little convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah we got a little convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A

Convoy

Convoy

Well we rolled up Interstate 44

Like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all of our swindle sheets

And left 'em settin' on the scales

By the time we hit that Chi-town

Them bears was a-gettin' smart

They'd brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinois National Guard

There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps

And rigs of ev'ry size

Yeah them chicken coops was full'a bears

And choppers filled the skies

Well we shot the line and we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

An' eleven long-haired friends a' Jesus

In a chartreuse micra-bus

Well we laid a strip for the Jersey shore

And prepared to 'cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a dog-goned dime

I says Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck

We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll

So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight

I says let them truckers roll 10-4

'Cause we got a little convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah we got a little convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

Come on and join our convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the U-S-A

Convoy
