Convoy Lyrics
by Paul Brandt
**CAPO 3rd FRET**
"Ah, breaker one-nine this here's the rubber duck.
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen common?
Ahh yah, 10-4 pig-pen fur sure fur sure,
By golly, it's clean clear to flagtown common.
Yah thats a big 10-4 there pigpen,
We definetly got the front door good buddy.
Mercy sakes alive looks like we got us a convoy..convoy...."
It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pulling logs
Cab-over pete with a reefer on and a jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin for bear on I- 1 0 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
Chorus:
Cuz we got a little convoy, rocking through the night
Yah we got a little convoy, aint she a beautiful sight
Common and join our convoy, aint nothing gonna get in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin convoy across the U.S.A
Convoy....
"Ah breaker pigpen this here's the duck and ah you
wanna back off them hogs? yah 10-4 bout five mile or so.
10 roger them hogs is gettin intense up here."
By the time we got into Tulsa town
We hada 85 trucks in all
But there's a roadblock up on the clover leaf
And them bears was wall to wall
Yah them smokies was thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear in the air
I says calling all trucks this here's the duck
And we about to go huntin' bear
CHORUS (change "little" to "great big")
"Ah you wanna give me a 10-9 on that pig-pen?
Negatory pig-pen your still too close them hogs is starting to
close up my sinuses. mercy sakes you better back off another 10."
Well we rolled up interstate 44 like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all of our swindle sheets
And left em sittin 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 was armored cars and tanks and jeeps and rigs of every size
Yah them chicken coops was full o' bears
and choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line and we went for broke
with a thousand screamin trucks
And eleven long-haired friends o' Jesus in a chartreuse micrabus
"Ah rubber duck to sodbuster come over.
Yah 10-4 sodbuster listen.. you wanna put that micrabus
in behind that suicide jockey? yah hes haulin dynamite and
he needs all the help he can get..."
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 didnt have a dog-goned dime
I says pigpen this here's the rubber duck,
we just ainta gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' 98
I says let them truckers roll, 10-4!
CHORUS (change "great big" to "mighty")
"Ah 10-4 pig-pen whats your 20? Omaha?!
well they oughta know what to do with them hogs
out there for sure. Well mercy sakes good buddy
we gonna back on outa here so keep the bugs off
your glass and the bears of your... tail. we'll
catch ya on the flip-flop. this heres the rubber
duck on the side, we gone! buh-bye!"
