Good Morning, Class of '64
Big Red Americana - Dave Barnhouse |
Take My love
Take my love along with you
as down that road you go
It does no good at home with me,
It does no good at home with me,
it's just for you alone
Thru days and nites of travel,
Thru days and nites of travel,
take my love along with you
It's there to keep you safe
It's there to keep you safe
and warm in everything you do.
Take my love along with you
as down that road you go
To places that you've never been
To places that you've never been
and "My Love" just always know
That I'm right there beside you
That I'm right there beside you
in ways that we can't see
I'm resting there next to your heart;
I'm resting there next to your heart;
my love to you from me.
Take my love along with you
and always remember this
Very few people in all this world,
Very few people in all this world,
ever find this kind of bliss
That only you and I could
That only you and I could
share in everything we do
So as you travel that long, long road,
So as you travel that long, long road,
take my love along with you
There is more credit and satisfaction
in being a first-rate truck driver

I've been at it since the early
90's and still love it.
At times I feel like I have a GPS
stamped into my brain.
Been all over the place
over and over again.
And still love it.
I hate some things but can't
see doing anything else.
I'm a Trucker.

I
don't think there's any real motivation
for somebody to be a truck
driver.
Mine was simple;
Dad was a truck driver,
I wanted to own one.
Lindsay Fox
I
sometimes think it ironic for an
ex-seaman,
longshoreman,
truck driver,
policeman,
bus driver, etc...
to find success writing children's
novels.

When I got outta High School
I was driving a truck.
I was just a poor boy
I like the music on this one...JMC
