- 1460 Elder Street
I was waiting for a ship to Vietnam and me being the good time loving guy I am
I was looking for some female company I met a girl alone and lonesome just like me
We had coffee at a waterfront cafe she said her husband was a soldier far away
And she talked about her long nights all alone
And the way she's fought temptation since he's gone
1460 Elder Street is where she took me
And I never knew that love could be so sweet
Then she promised me that when the war was over
- 18 Wheels A Hummin' Home Sweet Home
With raindrops on my windshield and teardrops on my stirring wheels
This lonely truck's the only thing I own
In my heart I'm pining while her old engine's whining
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home
I had a gal in Texas she walked away and left us
This old truck's all I'm depending on
Sometimes I overwork her but I never would desert her
- Freightliner Fever
I drive a big freightliner an' I made my last payment today.
An' I drive to all points outta New York City to LA.
Well, that little woman smiles when I believe her
I'll soon be back, I got the fever,
She's a believer.
I got the freightliner fever.
Now there's a railroad a-runnin' by a highway out in Santa Fe.
- Phantom 309
I was out on the West Coast, tryin' to make a buck
And things didn't work out, I was down on my luck
Got tired a-roamin' and bummin' around
So I started thumbin' back East, toward my home town.
Made a lot of miles, the first two days
And I figured I'd be home in week, if my luck held out this way
But, the third night I got stranded, way out of town
- Teddy Bear
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Trying to reach my destination before the sun went down
The old CB was blarin' away on Channel 1-9
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line
And he said, "Breaker 1-9, is anyone there?
Come on back truckers and talk to Teddy Bear"
well I keyed the mike and I said, "You got it, Teddy Bear"
And the little boy's voice came back on the air
