"Ride" by Trace Adkins its new... so here are the lyrics

Bogalusa, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Picayune
Biloxi, Pascagoula, Mobile Bay, big full moon
Diesel up just north of Destin, head across to Jacksonville
Love to see the world come at me through the bugs on a big windshield

Yeah let's ride

Tear it down in Raleigh-Durham
Haven't got an hour to lose
Head up the coast to Virginia
Be the newest Newport news
Back across the Appalachians
Blowing into Louisville
Love to feel the big wheels turning
Always have and always will

Chorus:
Somewhere inside me there's a new direction
Somewhere before me there's an open road
Can't go to sleep without that diesel singing
And somebody telling me it's time to go
Let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride

Little Rock, Texarkana, Dallas-Fort Worth and El Paso
110 in the desert, pedal down, go dog go
Always love to see the people
Always love to hear the crowd
Always love to bring the party
Turn it up and play it loud

(Repeat Chorus)

Let's ride like the wind, but I'll be back again
As sure as this world spins around
One day I might find a reason to shut this thing down
But for now let's ride

(Repeat Chorus)

Let's ride

yall seriously need to check this one out, great driving song, real fast paced






Artist/Band: Aaron Watson
Lyrics for Song: Diesel Driving Daddy
Lyrics for Album: Honky Tonk Kid



Well my truck’s wound up and it’s ready to roll
I got a good buddy workin’ for the Highway Patrol
So if I get a ticket or two, It’s gonna be alright
But the sheriff and his boys they’re in Estilline
Unless they’re out to lunch at the Dairy Queen
They’ll be itchin’ to turn on those red, white, and blue
lights

Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter
I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter
Horns on the hood and forty channel CB

Well some things you never leave home without
Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin’ route
And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD


Chorus:

Cause I’m a diesel drivin’ daddy
Don’t you get in my lane
Puttin’ the pedal to the medal
Bringin’ eighteen wheels of pain
I’ve been in love
Broke some hearts
Settled down long enough to replace the parts
Kicked a little
Asphalt along the way


There’s a lonely life livin’ on the road
When the only friend you’ve got is the radio
And even he fades in and out every now and then
But maybe someday you’ll find the right one
That'll shift the gears and let ya ride shotgun
Knows how to get that big ole rig to spin


Chorus

I’m a panhandlin’ manhandlin’
Post holin’ high rollin’ dust bowlin’ daddy
I ain’t got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo highway

Chorus

Up and down that honky tonkin’ highway

From: Whitehorse, cultural hub of the universe..
if you're going to check out wolf creek pass, also check out CB savage, and a tommy cash song called roll truck roll. Del Reeves "Girl on the Billboard", and Commander Cody and his lost planet airmen " truck stop at the end of the world " CW McCall " I've trucked all over this land " I've been everywhere, teddy bear, anything by Red Sovine.
Jerry Reed has done some good ones too.

There are a lot of good trucking songs out there, and some good driving songs in general. A good all-purpose album for drivers is AC/DC Who made Who, the maximum overdrive soundtrack. excellent for keeping you awake.

Six Days on the Road by Steve Earle. Sawyer Brown's version can't hold a candle to Steve's.

I think Convoy gets my vote but a few others come to mind. This will take you back a few years....Teddy Bear and Giddy up Go. How's them for trucker songs?
