I was on the of a little southern town Trying to reach my before the sun went down The old CB was away on Channel 1-9 When there came a little boy's voice on the radio
And he said, "Breaker 1-9, is anyone Come on back and talk to Teddy Bear" I the mike and I said, "You got it, Teddy Bear" And the little boy's came back on the air
"Appreciate the who we got on that end" I him my handle and then he began "Though I'm not supposed to bother you out there Mom you're busy and for me to stay off the air"
But you see, I get lonely and it helps to 'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled and I can't I came back and him to fire up that mike And I'd to him as long as he'd liked
"This was my dad's radio", the little boy But I guess it's mine and mom's now 'cause my dead Dad had a wreck about a ago He was to get home in a blinding snow
Mom has to work now to make meet And I'm not much help my two crippled feet She says not to worry we'll make it alright But I hear her cryin' sometimes late at
You there's one thing I want more than anything else to see Oh, I you guys are too busy to bother with me But you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was But I guess all over now since my daddy's gone
Not one came on the old CB As that little crippled boy with me I tried hard to a lump just wouldn't stay down As I thought about my boy back in Greenville
Dad was gonna take mom and me with him later on this Why I him sayin' someday old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear But I know now I'll get a ride on 18-wheeler again But this old base'll keep me in touch with all my trucker
Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and you alone 'Cause about time for mom to come home But you give me shout when you're passin' And I'll surely be to come back to you
Well, I back and I said before you go 10-10 What's your 20, little CB friend He gave me his and I didn't once hesitate 'Cause this hot load of would just have to wait
I turned that truck around on a And straight for Jackson Street 229 And as I the corner, oh, I got one the heck of a shock 18-wheeler were lined up for three blocks
I every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call And that little boy was havin' a ball For as fast as one driver would him in Another would carry him to his and take off again
Well, you better believe I my turn rifin' Teddy Bear And then carried him in and put him down in his chair And buddy, if I never live to see happiness I want you to know I saw it day in the face of that little man
We took up a for him before his mama got home And each driver said goodbye and they were all gone He shook my hand a mile long grin And said, "So long trucker, catch you again" Ah, I hit that interstate tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio and I got another Breaker 1-9 came the on the air Just one word of thanks from mama, Teddy We wish each and everyone a special for you 'Cause you just made my little boy's dream true I'll sign off now before I to cry May God ride you 10-4 and goodbye
