Yeah, we definitely got [Fm] the front [C] door good buddy.
Mercy's sake of [Ab] life, looks like [E] we got up a [Cm] convoy. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Convoy. _ _ _
It [C] was the dark of the moon on the 6th [Fm] of June in a [Bb] Kenworth pulling [F] logs.
Cab over Pete with a reefer [C] on and a Jimmy hauling hogs.
We just headed for Bayer on I-10 about [Bb] a mile out of Shaggytown.
I [F] says, Pigpen, this here's the rubber [C] duck and I'm about to put the hammer down.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] Cause we got a [Eb] little [Bb] convoy rocking through [Eb] the night.
[Ab] Yeah, we got a [Eb] little [Bb] convoy, ain't she a [G] beautiful sight?
[Ab] Come on, join [Eb] our [Bb] convoy, ain't nothing [Eb] gonna get in our way.
[Ab] Gonna roll this [Eb] trucking convoy [Bb] across the [G] USA.
[C] _ Convoy.
Now, breaker, Pigpen, this here's the duck and you wanna back off them hogs?
Yeah, 10-4 about 5 miles or so.
10-Roger, them hogs is getting intense up here.
By the time we got into Tulsa town, we [Bb] had 85 trucks and all.
But [F] there's a roadblock upon the clover leaf and [C] them bears have walled the [Bb] wall.
[C] And them smokies as thick as bugs on a [Bbm] bumper.
They even had a bear in the air.
I [F] says, calling all trucks, this here's the duck, [Cm] we about to go out and hunt the bear.
_ [C] _ _
[Ab] Cause we got a [Eb] great big [Bb] convoy rocking through [Eb] the night.
[Ab] Yeah, we got a great [Eb] big [Bb] convoy, ain't she a [G] beautiful sight?
[Ab] Come on, [Eb] join our [Bb] convoy, ain't nothing gonna get [Eb] in our way.
[Ab] Gonna roll this [Eb] trucking [Bb] convoy across the [G]
USA.
[C] _ Convoy.
Now, do you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Pigpen?
_ Negatory, Pigpen, you're still too close.
Yeah, them hogs starting to close up my silences.
Mercy's sake, you better back off another 10. _
[Gm] [C] Well, we rolled up Interstate 44 [Bb] like a rocket sled on rails.
[F] We tore up all of our swindle sheets [C] and left them sitting on the scales.
By the time we hit that shy town, [Bb] hunting bears was getting smart.
[F] He brought up some reinforcements from [Gm] Illinois' National Guard.
[F] There's armored cars and tanks and [Eb] jeeps and rigs of every size.
[Bb] And them chicken coops was full of [F] bears and choppers filled the skies.
Oh, we shot the line and we went [Eb] broke with a thousand screaming trucks.
[Bb] And eleven long-haired friends of [F] Jesus in a chartreuse Macarbus.
[Cm] _ Our rubber duck is _ _ poor soft-buster.
Listen, you wanna put that microbus in behind that suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's hauling dynamite.
He's all that he can get.
Well, we [C] laid a strip on the Jersey [Bb] Shore and prepared to cross the line.
[F] I could see the bridge slide the [Cm] bears, but I didn't have a doggone dime.
I said, Pigpen, this here's a rubber [Bb] duck.
We just ain't gonna pay no toll.
[Eb] So we crashed the gate doing [D] 98.
I says, let them truckers roll 10 [Ab]-4.
We got [Eb] a mighty [Bb] convoy rocking [Eb] through the night.
[Ab] Yeah, we got a [Eb] mighty [Bb] convoy.
Ain't she a [G] beautiful sight?
[Ab] Come on, let's [Eb] join our [Bb] convoy.
Ain't nothing gonna [Eb] get in our way.
[Ab] If you join the roll, this [Eb] truck ain't a [Bb] convoy.
Cross [G] USA!
_ [C] _ Convoy!
10-4, Pigpen.
What's your 20?
I'm home, I'm home.
Well, they ought to know what to do with them [Cm] hogs out there for sure.
Well, mercy's face good, [Gm] buddy.
Hey, we're gonna back [C] on out of here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your tail.
We'll catch you on the flip-flop.
This here's a rubber duck on the side.
We gone.
Bye-bye. _ _
