Giddy Up, Go - Tex Williams/Red Simpson

The highways that wind and wander over mountain and valleys deserts and plains

I guess I've drove about all of 'em

Cause for the past 25 years

Now the cab of a truck has been my home

And it'd be kinda hard for me to settle down

And not be on the go

Why I remember the first truck I drove

I was so proud I could hardly wait to get home to show my wife

And my little boy

And my little boy was so excited like when he saw his first snow

He wasn't old enough to say too many words

He just kept hollering goddyup go daddy giddyup go

So that's what I named the old truck giddyup go

Oh things wasn't too bad of course I's gone a lot

And after about six years be in an hour I got home one day

And found my wife and little boy gone

I couldn't find out what happened nobody seemed to know

So from that day on it's been me and old giddyup go

I've made a lot of friends at all the truck stops

And some of 'em would kick me about my litle sign

Of course they knew where I got the name

Cause I told 'em about that little boy

And how his first word about that old truck was giddyup go

Today I was barrelin' down old 66

When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig

Both stacks of blowing' black coal

And as she pulled around and in front of me

A big lump came in my throat

My eyes watered like I had a bad old cold

A little sign on the back of the truck read giddyup go

Well I pushed old giddyup go stayed right on him

Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up

And I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup

And we got to talking' shop and I said

Now did you come by the name on your truck giddyup go

Well you know I got it from my pop

See dad used to drive a truck that's what mom talked about a lot

You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen and

I lost all track of pop

Mom said he got the name from me

I shook his hand and told him that I had something

I wanted him to see

So I took him out to the old truck

And brushed off some of the dirt so the name would show

And his eyes got big and bright as he read the word giddyup go

Oh we had a lot of things to talk about and

Buddy I felt like a king

And now we've just pulled back on old 66 and he's handled that big rig

Better than any gear jammer that I'd ever seen

And now the lines on the highway have got much brighter glow

As we go roarin' down the road and me starin' at a little sign

That reads giddyup go
