on the flip flop, fer sure






Yeah, breaker one-nine
This here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon?

Uh, yeah, Ten-Four Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon

Yeah, it's a big Ten-Four there, Pig Pen

Yeah, we definitely got the front door, Good Buddy

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we've got us a convoy


It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin' for bear
On I - One - O,
'Bout a mile out of Shakey Town
I says, Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down




'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA

Con - voy!

Con - voy!


Yeah, breaker Pig Pen, this here's the Duck
And uh, you wanna back off them hogs
Uh, ten-four 'bout five mile or so
Ten-Roger, them hogs is gettin' intense up here


By the time we got into Tulsa Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
And them bears was wall to wall
Yeah, them smokies was thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear in the air
I says, Callin' all trucks,
This here's the Duck,
We about to go a-huntin' bear


'Cause we got a great big convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a great big convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A

Convoy!
Convoy!

Uh, you wanna give me a ten-nine on that Pig Pen

Uh, negatory Pig Pen you're still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you'd better back off another ten


Well we rolled up Interstate forty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all of our swindle sheets
And left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a-gettin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard


There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps
And rigs of every size
Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears
And choppers filled the skies


Well, we shot the line
We went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired Friends of Jesus
In a chartreuse microbus


Yeah, Rubber Duck this's Sod Buster, c'mon there

Yeah, Ten-Four Sod Buster

Listen, you wanna put that microbus
In behind that suicide jockey
Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite
And he needs all the help he can get


Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore
Prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime

I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate, doin' 98,
I says, Let them truckers roll,
Ten-Four



'Cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A
Convoy

Convoy


Ah, Ten-Four
Pig Pen, what's your Twenty
Omaha
Well, they oughtta know what to do with them hogs out there, fer sure.

Well, mercy sakes, good buddy
We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass
And the bears off yer ... tail
We'll catch you on the flip flop.
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side 

We gone

Bye - bye

The picture on the video is of open highway, with light green grass, and light blue sky.

(There's one flaw in the recording -- after the "crashed the gate doing 98" part, there's a big scratchy sound but it only lasts for like a second, and then it's back to good sound.  So don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your computer or your phone.)
