By golly it’s clean clear to Flagtown.

C’mon

Yeah, that’s a big ten-four there Pigpen

Yeah, we definitely got the front door good buddy

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

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’s headed for bear on I-10

About a mile outta Shaky Town

I says «Pigpen, this here’s the Rubber Duck

And I’m about to put the hammer on down»

'Cause we got a little ol' convoy rockin' thru 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 USA

Convoy

Ah, breaker Pigpen this here’s the Duck and you wanna back off on them hogs?

Ah, ten-four, about five mile or so

Ten roger, them hogs is gettin' IN-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa town we had 85 trucks in all

But there’s a roadblock up on the cloverleaf

And them bears is wall to wall

Yeah them smokeys 's 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

'Cause we got a great big convoy rockin' thru 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 USA

Convoy

Ah, you want to give me a ten-nine on that Pigpen?

Ah, negatory Pigpen, you’re still too close

Yeah them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses

Mercy sake’s you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up Interstate 44

Like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all of our swindle sheets

And left 'em sittin' on the scales

By the time we hit that Shi town

Them bears was a-gettin' smart

They brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinois National Guard

There’s armored cars and tanks and jeeps

And rigs of every size

Yeah the chicken coops was full of bears

And choppers filled the skies

Well we shot the line

And went for broke

With a thousand screaming trucks

And eleven longhaired friends of Jesus

In a chartreuse microbus

Ah, Sodbuster, this here’s the Duck, c’mon here, ten-four

Hey Sodbuster listen, you wanna put that microbus in behind that suicide jockey?

Yeah he’s haulin' dynamite, he needs all the help he can get

Well we laid a strip for the Jersey shore

And prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn’t have a doggone dime

I says Pigpen this here’s the Rubber Duck

We just ain’t gonna pay no toll

So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight

I says, let them truckers roll, ten-four

'Cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' thru the night (rockin' through the night)

Yeah we got a mighty convoy ain’t she a beautiful sight (oooh)

Come on and join our convoy ain’t nothin' gonna get in our way

We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA

Convoy (convoy)

Convoy (convoy)

Ah, ten-four Pigpen.

What’s your twenty?

OMAHA?

Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there, for sure

Well mercy sake’s alive good buddy, we gonna back on outta here

So keep your bugs off your glass and the bears off your… tail

We’ll catch you on the flip-flop

This here’s the Rubber Duck on the side, we gone, bye bye
