    My Dad drove truck for over 45 years. He passed away last year. I miss him so very much. On his prayer cards at this funeral we printed “Roll on highway, roll on along, roll on Daddy till ya get back home. Roll family, roll on crew, roll on Mama like I asked you to do…” He received the 1 million mile award with no accidents. He only had 3 years of retirement before suddenly passing away. He sacrificed so much of his time away from my brother and mom and I. But he always made up for it when he would come home. Sending all my love to all of our truckers and their families. It takes special people to drive and special families to keep things moving. ❤

    Thank you for the shoutout to truckers, they are an unappreciated group but the US would not be able to function without them!

    As you've seen already, Alabama owned the 80s with crossover hits (Country/Pop/Rock) Ll over TV and radio.
    I remember this song but it didn't get a huge a!iunt of playtime. Too many other Alabama hits already getting air time.

    @theevagabondpoet 6 месяцев назад +2

    So much love and appreciation for your compassion and consideration for not just our truckers but all people. Another trucking song----"Giddy Up Go" by Red Sovine. He also sings "Teddy Bear" Both will bring tears to your eyes. Another good trucking song. Kathy Mattea's "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses".
    I was a trucker for over a decade. Yes, a tough life. I missed some important times with my son and wife. But, it also was a great life because I got to meet thousands of nice people all over this great country of ours. Would I do it again? Probably not. Family time is too precious. I missed being there and helping and watching my boy grow up.

    We saw Alabama in Abilene TX in 1983, when they introduced this song. When he got to the line "the MAN upstairs was LISTENING..." Randy was pointing straight up and looking to the sky, and you could feel everybody collectively catching their breath, and when he sang "...and when the call came in, it was daddy on the other end..." the whole place ERUPTED in cheers and applause! It puts a lump in my throat, to this day....recalling that event!

    I heard this a lot as a kid. My dad is a truck driver and this was basically the theme. Like with Amber's friend, my dad could be gone for weeks at a time. Occasionally even a month, driving all over the country and even into Canada a few times. He's run into all kinds of bad weather over the years from blizzards to floods. He's seen tornadoes and fires.
    Hats off and a big cheer for the truck drivers that keep this country rolling on!

    Before i had my right leg amputated in the spring of '19 i had been trucking for 25yrs. My boys loved all of the trucking songs old, and new. I still take em with me on local runs, and their favorite songs a from Tony Justice, I have to play them on repeat, volume all the way up till the speakers sound like they're going to pop. I miss those days of being able to take them with me for a month or two in spring and summers.

    Honestly mid-80s to early nineties Alabama one of the biggest music acts around. That includes any Rock hair metal or anything else. Still one of the few country acts that could do stadium shows

    I love the way she said "I was having such a good time". Being from Alabama, I grew up hearing this band. Being from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, I knew some of the songwriters and folks associated with the band. My first music festival was their "June Jam" in Ft. Paine, AL. Super fun for a young teenager to attend this with family. An aside, we're 4 or 5 days into the fallout of an ice storm here, and a lot of our grocery stores are empty of fresh food, along with many of our restaurants due to the trucks not making it in yet.
    A suggestion for a future video that'll get you hooked going down a rabbit hole for sure. Check out "40 Hour Week" by the band Alabama. It's also about trucking, and was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, which was once labelled "the hit recording capital of the world".

    Paul Simon

    My dad has been a trucker most of my life, and this song has always been a trigger of anxiety for me! Not that i don't love it along with all those old trucker ballads u can only find on those old truck stop mixed tapes. But, I've always had the biggest worry my dad would die on the road, which he's still on. He's one of those old timers who will drive till he absolutely can't anymore.

    Another GREAT trucking song is Norton Buffalo's 18 WHEELS. You guys like harmonica and Norton is a master. Norton often played with The Steve Miller Band in the 70's.
    I've loved the Alabama 18 Wheeler song since it was released. It still makes me cry everytime! Happy stuff always gets me.

    2 classic trucking songs are “Phantom 309” and “Teddy Bear” from Red Sovine. “Looking at the World Through a Windshield” and “Six Days on the Road” are also some outstanding trucking anthems!

      I'm sitting here in my rig at a truck stop in Missouri with a little bit of a tear in my eye. It sounds like your dad was one of the amazing folks that paved the way for folks like me. I have been out here on the road for the better part of 20 years. So, to your Pop's.... "Rest easy Driver. We've got it from here but still need folks like you to watch over us. Keep the rubber side down and we will catch you on the flip flop."
