I was on the outskirts of a little town Trying to reach my destination the sun went down The old CB was blarin' away on 1-9 When came a little boy's voice on the radio line
And he said, "Breaker 1-9, is there? Come on back truckers and to Teddy Bear" I keyed the and I said, "You got it, Teddy Bear" And the little boy's voice back on the air
"Appreciate the who we got on that end" I told him my and then he began "Though I'm not supposed to bother you out there Mom says busy and for me to stay off the air"
But you see, I get lonely and it to talk that's about all I can do, I'm crippled and I can't walk I came and told him to fire up that mike And I'd talk to him as long as liked
"This was my radio", the little boy said But I guess it's mine and mom's now 'cause my dead Dad had a wreck a month ago He was tryin' to get in a blinding snow
Mom has to work now to ends meet And I'm not much help my two crippled feet She says not to worry that we'll make it But I hear her cryin' sometimes at night
You know there's one thing I want more than else to see Oh, I know you guys are too busy to bother me But you see, my dad used to take me for rides he was home But I guess that's all over now since my daddy's
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 town
Dad was gonna take mom and me him later on this year Why I remember him sayin' This old will be yours, Teddy Bear But I know now I'll never get a 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 leave you 'Cause it's about for mom to come home But you give me shout when you're passin' And I'll surely be happy to back to you
Well, I came back and I before you go 10-10 What's your 20, little CB friend He me his address and I didn't once hesitate 'Cause this hot load of freight would just have to
I that truck around on a dime And headed for Jackson Street 229 And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one the of a shock were lined up for three city blocks
I guess every driver for miles had caught Teddy Bear's call And little crippled boy was havin' a ball For as fast as one driver would him in Another would him to his truck and take off again
Well, you better believe I took my turn rifin' Teddy And then him back in and put him down in his chair And buddy, if I never live to see happiness I you to know I saw it that day in the face of that little man
We took up a collection for him before his mama got And each driver said goodbye and then they were all He shook my with a mile long grin And said, "So trucker, I'll catch you again" Ah, I hit that interstate with in my eyes
I on the radio and I got another surprise Breaker 1-9 the voice on the air Just one of thanks from mama, Teddy Bear We wish each and everyone a prayer for you 'Cause you just made my little dream come true I'll sign off now I start to cry May God ride with you 10-4 and
