"I got a beaver on my lap" by Red Simpson
and
"We May Be Lost But We're Making Good Time" by Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley
"6 Days on the Road" by the other Rabbit. Eddy Rabbit.
I realize that this isn't supposed to be a trucking song but I just love playing "Highway to Hell" particularly when I go into L.A. Although, after going through D.C., Baltimore and Phillie twice in a 24 hour period; L.A. is looking better to me. SIGH!!!
The locals didn't appreciate me playing part of it on the C.B., the last time I was going into Ontario. Someone said you're not from LA. are you? I said, "hell no, Colorado."8)

I like that hip-hop song about "Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty" or whatever. It makes me think of the DOT.
"I can't drive 55" is another good one. Damn, who was that, Sammy Hagar?
But I don't really know any trucking songs. I think they're all country, and I never listen to country. Ever.
Yeah, I've got to agree with you Silvan I don't usually listen to Country. However, I don't have XM so if it's a choice between Country or Religion [not Christian so can't stand to hear them preach-yuck!!!], Country's on for as long as I can stand it. Which is usually long enough to sift through my CDs. I usually put in a CD at that point and listen to my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top [Looking for some Tush], Creed or Nickelback.8)

copied the wrong link sorry
Apollo 440 Stop the Rock
not sure what the rock is suppose to be but just like the down and dirty part. Dog is cute too.
White Line Fever by Merle Haggard, Guitar Town by Steve Earle, and a new one I have been listening too lately is Scott H. Biram, he has a few good trucking tunes, Truck Driver and 18 Wheeler Fever
Can't believe nobody has said "Eastbound and Down" by Jerry Reed.
You can take the driver out of the truck but you cant take the truck out of the driver.
You are correct. Dave Dudley IMHO did the best version of 6 Days on The Road.Originally Posted by Double R
Eddie Rabbit's Drivin' My Life Away. was the one I was going for. OOPS.
"Give Me 40 Acres and I'll Turn this Rig Around"
Dont know who sang it but my grandpa has it on an old album(thats better known as a record for you young guys)of all trucking songs from the 50's,60's and 70's
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
Beat me to it.Originally Posted by PackRatTDI

Yeah, anything of Jerry Reed. C.W McCall, too.
I also like Red Sovine.
Phantom 309 :P
Actually I was asking when he covered it. I went to Napster to see and did not find it. Eddie Rabbit was a great artist.Originally Posted by Rabbit one
Eddie Rabbits, "Drivin my life away", how appropriate, excellent song.
Check out this video, and some guy named Rune Rudberg, doin Drivin my life away....gotta relate.
