Convoy Lyrics - Singles - C.w. Mccall

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June 

In a Kenworth pullin' logs 

Cab-over Pete with a reefer 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 ol' convoy 

Rockin' through the night. 

Yeah, we got a little ol' 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! 

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 great big convoy 

Rockin' through the night. 

Yeah, we got a great big 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! 

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 

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 mighty convoy 

Rockin' through the night. 

Yeah, we got a mighty 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! Convoy! Convoy!
