Giddy Up Go Lyrics - Del Reeves

Cause I told 'em about that little boy of mine 

And how his first word about that old truck was Giddyup Go 

Well today I was barrelin' down old 66 

When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig 

Both stacks of blowin' black coal 

And as she pulled around and back in front of me 

A big ole lump came in my throat 

And my eyes watered like I had a bad old cough 

A little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddyup Go 

Well I pushed old Giddyup Go stayed right on him 

Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up 

I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup 

Well we got to talkin' shop and I said 

Now did you come by the name on your truck Giddyup Go 

Well he said I got it from my pop 

Dad used to drive a truck that's what mom talked about a lot 

You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen 

And I lost all track of pop cause mom said he got the name from me 

I shook his hand and told him that I had something I wanted him to see 

I took him out to the old truck 

And brushed off some of the dirt so the name would show 

And his eyes got big and bright as he read Giddyup Go 

Oh we had a lot of things to talk about and buddy I felt like a king 

And now we've just pulled back on the old 66 

And he's handled that big rig 

Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever seen 

Well sir now the lines on the highway have got much brighter glow 

As we go roarin' down the road 

And me starin' at a little sign that reads Giddyup Go
