With a thousand screaming trucks
And eleven long haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreuse microbus

"Pig Pen, c'mon?"

10-4 Pig pen, yeah those pigs are beginning to close up my sinuses -



Better back off another 10.

And then they made the movie….

The album before it has a totally different version of The Old Home Filler Up and Keep on a Truckin' Cafe'.


I think that song title was in the running for the longest song title next to Crystal Gayle's "Why Have Your Left the One You Left Me For?" and BJ THomas' "Hey Won't You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song".

.....we just ain't a gonna pay no tolls!

Me an' RJ an' the kids was on a camp-out in the mountains, and we had us one'a them U-Drive-'Em Army Jeep cars which we rented from a fella by the name of Kubozke for thirty bucks a day, buy your gas along the way, take a rabbit's foot and leave a pint of blood for a dee-posit

And he 'splained it all to us how we was supposed to get to Telluride, which is fifty miles away by way of the regular highway, however, there was a shortcut but unless we had drove the Black Bear Road before, we'd better be off to stay, stay in bed and sleep late. (Pay no attention to the gitar there)

Well, we took up off'n the highway and we come upon a sign says "Black Bear Road. You don't have to be crazy to drive this road, but it helps." I says, "RJ, this must the shortcut road Kubozke was talkin' about." She didn't pay no mind, 'cause she was makin' peanut butter sandwiches for the kids in the back seat throwin' rocks and drinkin' Kool-Aid and playin' count-the-license-plates. But they wasn't havin' too much fun a-countin' license plate or cars, 'cause there weren't no other cars

We went about a mile-and-a-half in about four hours, busted off the right front fender, tore a hole in the oil pan on a rock as big as a hall closet. Went over a bump and spilt the Kool-Aid and Roy Gene stuck his bolo knife right through the convertible top and the dog threw up all over the back seat. Peanut butter don't agree with him, you see

So we had to stop and take off the top and air everything out and clean it up. The dog run off and RJ says she felt her asthma comin' on. I was sittin' there wonderin' what to do when the en-tire scenic San Joo-wan U-Drive-'Em Army Jeep car sank in the mud. At thirteen thousand feet above sea level

Well, we shoveled it out and ate our lunch, the dog made a yellow hole in the snow and Roy Gene got out his Instamatic and took a snapshot of it. Mary Elizabeth drawed a picture of the road; it looked like a whole bunch a' Zs and Ws all strung together. And RJ took one look at it and said that the only way that Jeep car is goin' down that road is over her dead body. Then a rock slipped out from under the wheel and the U-Drive-'Em Army Jeep car went right over the edge of the cliff. Yahoo-ooh-ooh-ooh

"Doggone-it, Roy Gene! How many times do I have to 'splain it to you? When I tell you to put a rock under the wheel, I mean rock! Now look at that, what you have there is no bigger'n a grapefruit"

We were required to write a one page journal entry every week for high school English class. I was not very good at coming up with a topic to write about much less write correctly.

I wrote the lyrics to "Classifieds" by CW McCall as an entry one week. Got credit for it and was never questioned about it by my teacher. Thanks Mrs.Moos.

This is a pretty cool cover.

The first few seconds of the song with one of the most notable snare drum beats always makes me smile.
