Popular Post 57 bcr Posted December 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2015 What other occupation has had as many songs sung about it? The real XM channel "America",did an all day show on just truckin' music one time. There was a bunch of songs I had never heard on that program. Sure miss that station.

m16ty Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don't know who sung it but when I was a kid I liked the song White Night. It as about a smokey that would trick truckers on the CB into speeding so he could throw them in jail. The smokey's handle was "White Night".

57 bcr Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ironically,on January 8th,we lost Red " I'm A Truck" Simpson. Another great truckin' singer who had a ton of hits to his credit. He wrote several songs for Merle and Buck. And was a big part of the Bakersfield Sound. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
