Favorite truck song

[PistolPete]

Since A Big Truck Brought It has already been nominated I'm going to suggest Monteagle Mountain by Johnny Cash

[rwmct]

In addition to "Water in the Fuel" which has been posted, Fred Eaglesmith has a few other good trucker songs, such as "18 Wheels" and "Trucker's Speed".

I have to agree, though, with those that say "Six Days on the Road" is the one, if you can only have one. And there are so many good versions of that tune, it really is the all time classic.

White Knight by Cleddus Maggard is my all time favourite.

Hey, I just listened to this, and yes it's a fine atmospheric song. Simple enough chords that I could figure it out and play it tonight for my own enjoyment.

Despite one video of the song that features a trucker, it doesn't seem to be a truck song, but I can't hold that against it.

I agree. "Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed" is a great line among many in that song that paints quite the picture of life on the road.

Not a truck song specifically but it features prominently in Kid Rock's song First Kiss

I remember waiting for the school bus
Jenny Clayton was my first crush
And neither one of us had a clue
An old Cheyenne it was my first truck
Rusted, rough and kinda beat up
But when she jumped in it felt brand new
And now these days when I drive through a small town
I turn my stereo up and roll my windows down
'cause it reminds me of my first kiss
And those days that I always miss
Tom Petty on the radio
Going steady with nowhere to go
No money just time to spend
An old Chevy and a couple friends
Oh how I wish that I could go back in time
Just to love you again

I remember drinking from the same cup
We'd break up just to make up
I remember falling in love with you
Smokin' cigarettes on the tailgate
Man it seems like it was yesterday
When Main Street felt like Park Avenue
