This tells the story of a spontaneous assemblage of trucks and various other vehicles driving cross country. A map of their route can be found here.

[CB Radio Chatter]

Yeah, breaker one-nine

This here's the Rubber Duck

You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon?

Uh, yeah, Ten-Four Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure

By golly it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon

Yeah, its a big Ten-Four there, Pig Pen

Yeah, we definitely got the front door, Good Buddy

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we've got us a convoy

[Verse 1]

It was the dark of the moon

On the sixth of June

In a Kenworth, pullin' logs

Cabover Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We was headin' for bear

On 'I-1-0

'Bout a mile out Shakey Town

I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck

And I'm about to put the hammer down

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

C'mon and join our Convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the USA

Convoy

Convoy

[CB Radio Chatter]

Yeah, breaker Pig Pen this here's the Duck

And uh, you wanna back off them hogs

Uh, ten-four 'bout five mile or so

Ten-Roger them hogs is gettin' intense up here

[Verse 2]

By the time we got into Tulsa Town

We had eighty-five trucks in all

But they's a road block up on the clover leaf

And them bears was wall to wall

Yeah, them smokies was thick as bugs on a bumper

They even had a bear in the air

I says, callin' all trucks

This here's the Duck

We about to go a huntin' bear

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a great big convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah, we got a great big convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

C'mon and join our Convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the USA

Convoy

Convoy

[CB Radio Chatter]

Uh, you wanna give me a ten-nine on that Pig Pen

Uh, negatory Pig Pen you're still too close

Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses

Mercy sakes, you'd better back off another ten

[Verse 3]

Well, we rolled up Innerstate fourty-four

Like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all of our swindle sheets

And left 'em settin' 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's armored cars and tanks and jeeps

And rigs of every size

Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears

And choppers filled the skies

Well, we shot the line

We went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

And eleven long haired Friends of Jesus

In a Chartreuse microbus

[CB Radio Chatter]

Yeah, Rubber Duck to Sod Buster

C'mon there

Yeah, Ten-Four Sod Buster

Listen, you wanna put that microbus

In behind that suicide jockey?

Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite

And he needs all the help he can get

[Verse 4]

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore

Prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a doggone dime

I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck

We just ain't a gonna pay no toll

So we crashed the gate doin' 98

I says let them truckers roll

Ten-Four

[Chorus]

'Cause we got a mighty convoy

Rockin' through the night

Yeah, we got a mighty convoy

Ain't she a beautiful sight

C'mon and join our Convoy

Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

'Cross the USA

Convoy

Convoy

[CB Radio Chatter]

Ah, Ten-Four

Pig Pen what's you're Twenty

Omaha

Well, they oughtta know what to do

With them hogs out there, fer sure

Well, mercy sakes good buddy

We gonna back on outta here

So keep the bugs off yer glass

And the bears off yer...tail

We'll catch you on the flip flop

This here's the Rubber Duck on the side

We gone

Bye, bye
