How bout some Blue grass:

Jockey lot you'll always be
home away from home to me
good ole jockey lot
Jockey lot in Tennessee

Once two panhandlers went into that Jockey lot
looking for something to steal
Truckers say they never seen 'em since
rekon they never will

Oh, Jockey lot you'll always be
Home away from home to me
good ole jockey lot
jockey lot in Tennessee

You figure out the tune...

TA's, Flyin J's,
slow cars in my way
Whoo I'm driving my life away
you know I love it anyway

Driving all through the night
Fuel prices outta sight
weigh stations, emigration
four wheelers, aggravation,

Whoo I'm driving my life away
you know I love it anyway

Join in and keep it going !!!

The burning question here is, how many margaritas will it take to get Cheri to sing. I'll make the first run to the store at the Expo.

How about this one...

Knock three times on the door lizard lizard
Twice on the pipes if you want to polish wheels
knock three times and i'll meet you at the window
twice on the glass...I'm gonna bust yo a**

I think I better go back to watching movies with the wife, this is gone from bad to worst.

Good day

O, give me a run
Where construction's all done,
And the traffic jams are so far away,
Where I won't spend my time
Just waiting in line,
And the slow pokes get out of my way!

Home, home, on the road,
Going to deliver this load,
I'll drive here, I'll drive there,
How far? I don't care
Cuz the roads are so smooth everywhere

O, give me a run
That pays good and is fun
and the shipper says have a good day
the directions are right
it's a cool and clear night
and in the road the DEER don't want to play

Home, home on the road
just a few possums and a flattened green toad
where the truckers talk right
on their CB's at night
and the fuel is under TWO freakin dollars per gallon

Hummm, probly need to work on that last line a little.

What do you think Cheri???
Lets keep it going, I think you have a hit going here.

Cheri this is great! Look what you started. There is some real talent out here. Wierd Al be damned! These replys are not only hilarious but poignant. I'm a sucker for road songs, especially expediter road songs.

I think we should bring in Phil Kives (Mr. K-Tel). Songs Of The Expediter. Two CD set. $24.99 plus shipping and handling.

Seriously, with some musically talented E.O. people and the ability to burn cd's at cost........

At the very least this should become a continuous thread. Better yet its own forum. Like I said there is some talent out there and I think every on EO would enjoy this.

Packmule: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT CHANGING THAT LAST LINE!! I was enjoying your lyrics, but when I got to the last line, well, I'm still wiping Diet Coke off the monitor!
Highway Star: There aren't enough Margaritas in the universe to get me to sing - except when I'm driving, cause like George Thorogood drinks, I drive alone. (Great - another driving song!) :7

Try this to Caroll Kings "You're so Vain" music;

I pulled into the truck stop
my trucks all shiney white
my chicken lights and polished wheels
were looking oh so bright

I found a spot and backed it in
man I did it just right
The run is done
I've had my fun
now it's time to say goodnight

I'm so drained
I thought I'd write a diddy about me
I'm so drained
I thought I'd write this diddy about me
about me....bout me..ZZZZzzzzzz

Wasn't that a Carly Simon song?

Don is right. It was Carly Simmon singing about Mick Jaeger. What if those two had a child.

Keep posting songs. These are hilarious!

OK, OK, It was Carly Simmon! It was also 3AM when this tune came to mind, I couldn't remember my own name!!! But thanks for the correction.

I'm not sure Moot people might get tired of us butchering songs, but maybe a poetry corner.

"Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat." :+

Are you sure she was singing about Mick? He sang background vocals, but she has still not made public who it was about. Warren Beaty is another one that has been rumored.

Ok Moot, One more and I'll go get a life.
I came up with this one last night while driving from Memphis to Houston. This one has meaning to me because it kind of reflects things in my life.

Try this to the music of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues

Guitar intro;
Bum bum ba bum bum bum,,,,baaabumm
(YES THAT'S A GUITAR SOUND)

I hear that turbo whinning
In the still of the night
And I know that I’ll be driving
Til the early morning light
Well I’m headed down to Houston
From Memphis Tenn a see
And when I drop this freight off
There’ll be another load waiting there for me

Now when I was just a young boy
My Daddy said “Hey sonâ€
“Don’t ever drive them big rigs,
live life and have some fun.â€
So I got me an education
Went to college and earned myself a degree.
But those diesels kept on burning
And the road kept calling to me.

Well I had me a good job
Worked every day from 9 to 5
But something down inside of me just didn’t feel alive
So I bought myself a big rig
Now I’m feelin’ just fine
Keepin’ those wheels a rollin’
And movin’ that freight on down the line

So momma’s tell your babies
Be what you want to be
If you like driving big rigs
Then a trucker you should be
And I’m gonna keep on driving
It’s where I want to be
I’m gonna keep on driving big rigs
Until they bury me

Bum bum ba bum bum bum,,,,baaabumm


OK thats all folks!!!!!

Dan
