C.W. McCall
Convoy (New Version)
[CB Radio Chatter]
Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You gotta copy on me, Love Machine?
Ah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure
By golly, it's clean clear to Taco Town
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door, good buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

[Verse 1]
Film reel Arizona, noon, on the seventh of June
When they highballed over the pass
Bulldog Mack with a can on back
And a Jaguar haulin' ass
He's ten on the floor, stroke an' bore
Seatcover's startin' ta gain
Now beaver, you a-truckin' with the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about ta pull the plug on your drain

[Chorus]
'Cause we got a little ol' convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a little ol' convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A
Convoy!
[CB Radio Chatter]
Ah, breaker, Pig Pen, this here's the Duck
Again, and ah you wanna back off on them go-go girls?
10, roger, 'bout five mile or so
Yeah, them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here

[Verse 2]
New Mexico, on I-four-oh
Like a Texas lizard on glass
One thousand pedals was mashin' the metal
Them bears was a-walkin' the grass
We trucked all day and we trucked all night
Big Benny improvin' our style
We could tell by the smell
We was headin' for Hell
And the Devil was Dirty Lyle

[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?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A
Convoy!
Yeah
[CB Radio Chatter]
Ah, now here's the plan, Pig Pen
When we get to the pass
We're gonna put on our fish costumes
Pass out the Vaseline an' an extra ration a' rum for the men
That should do it

[Verse 3]
Now Lyle was a creep
He was tacky and cheap
But he had him a badge an' a gun
He hated the Duck and he hated his truck
And he loved to bust truckers for fun
So he followed the line
And he bided his time
And he watched for his chance to strike
Then he picked on a trucker
Yeah, a wiry ol' sucker
Yeah, the trucker they call Spider Mike
But the great Rubber Duck
Sorta run outta luck
When he crossed that final bridge
There's choppers and rigs full'a guns an' pigs
They's wall-to-wall on the ridge
He showed no fear as he grabbed his gear
An' he stuck it in grandaddy low
Them guns went boom
An' his ass went zoom
An' the Mack took a terminal blow
[CB Radio Chatter]
Ah, how 'bout ya, Big Nasty, c'mon there
Say, listen, Big Nasty
We sure are glad you was along on this here run ta kick ass
Dontcha know?
Ah, 10-4, I know you can't say "kick ass" on the CB, back

[Verse 4]
Well, that big black Mack stopped dead in her tracks
When the trailer blew high in the air
There was pieces of truck and some pieces of Duck
And junk and debris everywhere
Then the rig took a drink an' commenced to sink
And there was no Duck no more
But that evil smile from Dirty ol' Lyle
Shone south from the north Texas shore

[Chorus]
'Cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A
Convoy!

[CB Radio Chatter]
Ah, 10-4
Pig Pen, what's your twenty?
Omaha?
Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure
Well, listen, good buddy
Keep the bugs off'n your glass and the bears off'n your ass
We'll catch you on the flip-flop
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side
Southbound an' down
We gone, bye bye
