One to sing loud (& off key)

cheri1122 · Apr 21, 2006

O, give me a run
Where construction's all done,
And the traffic jams are 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 to there,
How far? I don't care -

(I had a little trouble with the last line, so I have a few, & you can pick whichever sounds good, or suits your mood...)

Cause I'm bringing along my abode!
It's a good day - I didn't get towed!
I'm just happy, cause it hasn't snowed!
The directions are written in code!

Me too, Moot - me too. But thanks to OB2, I've already started on "Heard It Through The Qualcomm" & am trying to find out if The California Raisins are available to record it....

and other great songs like "Leaving In My D-unit" and can't forget the rock ballid by Arrow Smith "Don't Want To Miss A Load"

The raisins are booked for the next few years so maybe you'll have to settle for the fruit of the loom guys :7

Dang it cheri1122 see what you got me stuck on all sorts of tunes going threw my head now
to the tune of henry the 8th

I'm hauling frieght i am
hauling freight i am i am
I leased on to panther before
now i'm driving for the owner next door
and every one has cargo CARGO
don't care if it's a skid or ten tons
I'm an expediting driver
hauling frieght i am

Second verse same as the first

cheri1122 · Apr 23, 2006

That's a LOT better than the Fruit Of The Loom Guys, who are stuck in MY head now, thank you very much!

How 'bout "I Can See Streets & Trips By The Dashboard Light"?

outwardbound 2 · Apr 23, 2006

All i can say is if wierd Al Yankovic comes out with a new album songs of the expediter then we know he's a member of EO

jaminjim · Apr 23, 2006

Karin and I have been working on Toby's I love/hate this truck/Bar.

redytrk · Apr 23, 2006

What a great way to clear up traffic jams?

I just open the window and start singing. Presto every one disappears!!!!

Packmule · Apr 23, 2006

How bout:
Stuck in the traffic with you
running late cuz I can't get through
Cars to left of me, trucks to my right
here I am stuck in the traffic with you

Hey ya'll keep 'em coming, Next time I'm home I'll get some of my old band members togeather and we'll record these, burn some CD's, and pass the out at the EQ booth at the truck shows.

Packmule · Apr 23, 2006

Oh, don't forget that great expediting song by Nellie Welson:

Under load again,
just can't wait to get under load again
I love reading post from my EO freinds,
but I just can't wait to get back under load again

To the tune of "Dalta Dawn"

Conway Now how's that driver you hired on
is she getting all the miles in that she can
and did i hear you say she's taken the day off today
to get some sleep and put her 34 in

She's 41 and her daddy says she's crazy
all the folks at panther says she's lazy
cuase she sets in a lot and turns down all them loads
looking for that perverbial pot of gold
in her younger days she had another job
working on a farm slopping them old hogs
then a recuiter came and took her by her hand
i'll tell you how to make money if you can

Conway Now how's that driver you hired on

too much time on my hands i guess
