C.W. McCall, 1975. Nobody nailed the trucking/CB culture of the mid-70's better.

this was the very first album I bought myself. It was when Convoy came out, but I couldn't find it so I got the only C.W. McCall record I could find.

We owned the 45 of this song. I think it was the B side to Convoy. I was 9 when it came out, and I thought CBs were the coolest things ever.

The sign on which the double-nickel's wrote

Is bending from the stream

Comin' off my shining Peterbilt

The sunlight brightly gleams

When every trucker's torn apart

With tickets and with fees

O who will take your yams and corn

From here to Tennessee?

"Confusion" will be my handle

As I crash a cracked and broken roadblock

If we make it we can all sit back

And have a beer

But I fear tomorrow I'll be in jail

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be in jail

In the Court of the Crimson Convoy.
