Convoy

Was the (A)dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a (G)Kenworth pullin' logs
(D)Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a (A)Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a (G)mile outta Shaky Town
I says, (D)Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"And I'm (A)about to put the hammer down."

Cause (F)we got a little (C)convoy
(G)Rockin' through the (C)night.
Yeah, (F)we got a little (C)convoy,
(G)Ain't she a beautiful (E)sight?
(F)Come on and join our (C)convoy
Ain't (G)nothin' gonna get in our (C)way.
We gonna (F)roll this truckin' (C)convoy
(G)Cross the U-S-(E)A.
(A)Convoy!

By the (A)time we got into Tulsa Town,
We had (G)eighty-five trucks in all.
But they's a (D)roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
And them (A)bears was wall-to-wall.
Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
They (G)even had a bear in the air!
I says, (D)Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.
(A)We about to go a-huntin' bear.

Cause (F)we got a little (C)convoy
(G)Rockin' through the (C)night.
Yeah, (F)we got a little (C)convoy,
(G)Ain't she a beautiful (E)sight?
(F)Come on and join our (C)convoy
Ain't (G)nothin' gonna get in our (C)way.
We gonna (F)roll this truckin' (C)convoy
(G)Cross the US(E)A.
(A)Convoy!

Well, we (A)rolled up Interstate 44
Like a (G)rocket sled on rails.
We (D)tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left 'em (A)settin' on the scales.
By the time we hit that shire-town,
Them (G)bears was a-gettin' smart:
They'd (D)brought up some reinforcements
From the (A)Illinois National Guard.
There's (D)armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And (C)rigs of ev'ry size.
Yeah, them (G)chicken coops was full'a bears
And (D)choppers filled the skies.
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a (C)thousand screamin' trucks
An' (G)eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
In a (C)chartreuse micra-bus.

Cause (F)we got a little (C)convoy
(G)Rockin' through the (C)night.
Yeah, (F)we got a little (C)convoy,
(G)Ain't she a beautiful (E)sight?
(F)Come on and join our (C)convoy
Ain't (G)nothin' gonna get in our (C)way.
We gonna (F)roll this truckin' (C)convoy
(G)Cross the U-S-(E)A.
(A)Convoy!

Well, we (A)laid a strip for the Jersey shore
And pre(G)pared to cross the line
I could (D)see the bridge was lined with bears
But I (A)didn't have a dog-goned dime.
I says, Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
We just (G)ain't a-gonna pay no toll.
So we (D)crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says (A)"Let them truckers roll, 10-4."

Cause (F)we got a little (C)convoy
(G)Rockin' through the (C)night.
Yeah, (F)we got a little (C)convoy,
(G)Ain't she a beautiful (E)sight?
(F)Come on and join our (C)convoy
Ain't (G)nothin' gonna get in our (C)way.
We gonna (F)roll this truckin' (C)convoy
(G)Cross the U-S-(E)A.
(A)Convoy!
