Well, we rolled up interstate 44 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 illinoise national guard. There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps, And rigs of ev'ry size. Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears And choppers filled the skies. Well, we shot the line and we went for broke With a thousand screamin' trucks An' eleven long-haired friends a' jesus In a chartreuse micra-bus. [on the cb] Ah, rubber duck to sodbuster, come over. yeah, 10-4, sodbuster? lissen, you wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide jockey? yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he c T. Well, we laid a strip for the jersey shore And prepared to cross the line I could see the bridge was lined with bears But i didn't have a dog-goned 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 doing ninety-eight I says "let them truckers roll, 10-4." [chorus] 'cause we got a mighty convoy Rockin' through the night. Yeah, we got a mighty convoy, Ain't she a beautiful sight? Come on and join our convoy Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way. We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the u-s-a. Convoy! ah, 10-4, pig pen, what's your twenty?
