Mercy sakes alive looks like we got us a convoy..convoy...."

            A                    
It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June 
      G
In a Kenworth pulling logs 
D                                     A
Cab-over pete with a reefer on and a jimmy haulin' hogs 
        A                                G
We was headin for bear on I- 1 0 bout a mile outta shaky town
        D
I says pig-pen this here's the rubber duck 
          A
and I'm about to put the hammer down


Chorus:
    F                C       G                   C
Cuz we got a little convoy, rocking through the night
    F                C       G                    E      
Yah we got a little convoy, aint she a beautiful sight
F                    C            G                        C
Common and join our convoy, aint nothing gonna get in our way
             F                C        G         E
We're gonna roll this truckin convoy across the U.S.A
A
Convoy....

"Ah breaker pigpen this here's the duck and ah you 
wanna back off them hogs? yah 10-4 bout five mile or so.

        A
By the time we got into Tulsa town 
        G
We hada 85 trucks in all
                D
But there's a roadblock up on the clover leaf 
          A
And them bears was wall to wall 
          A
Yah them smokies was thick as bugs on a bumper
      G
They even had a bear in the air 
        D
I says calling all trucks this here's the duck 
    A
And we about to go huntin' bear


CHORUS (change "little" to "great big")

"Ah you wanna give me a 10-9 on that pig-pen? 
Negatory pig-pen your still too close them hogs is starting to 
close up my sinuses. mercy sakes you better back off another 10."

         A                              G
Well we rolled up interstate 44 like a rocket sled on rails 
    D
We tore up all of our swindle sheets 
             A
And left em sittin on the scales
         A                              G
By the time we hit that Chi-town, them bears was a gettin smart
        D
They'd brought up some reinforcements from 
     A
the Illinois national guard
          D                                     C
There was armored cars and tanks and jeeps and rigs of every size
          G
Yah them chicken coops was full o' bears 
     D
and choppers filled the skies
         D
Well we shot the line and we went for broke 
        C
with a thousand screamin trucks 
     G                                         D
And eleven long-haired friends o' Jesus in a chartreuse micrabus

A

"Ah rubber duck to sodbuster come over. 
Yah 10-4 sodbuster listen.. you wanna put that micrabus 
in behind that suicide jockey? yah hes haulin dynamite and 
he needs all the help he can get..."

         A
Well we laid a strip for the jersey shore 
        G
and prepared to cross the line
         D
I could see the bridge was lined with bears 
      A
but I didnt have a dog-goned dime 
        A
I says pigpen this here's the rubber duck, 
         G
we just ainta gonna pay no toll 
      (D)
So we crashed the gate doin' 98
       (A)
I says let them truckers roll, 10-4!


CHORUS (change "great big" to "mighty")

"Ah 10-4 pig-pen whats your 20? Omaha?!
