Lyrics:

I Was On The Outskirts Of A Little Southern Town
tryin To Reach My Destination
before The Sun Went Down
the Old Cb Was Blarin Away On Channel 1-9
when There Came
a Little Boys Voice On The Radio Line
and He Said
breaker 1-9
is Anyone There
come On Back Truckers
and Talk To Teddy Bear
well I Keyed The Mike And Said
you Got It
teddy Bear
and A Little Boys Voice Came Back On The Air
preciate The Break
who We Got On That End
i Told Him My Handle
and Then He Began
now Im Not Supposed To Bother You Fellows Out There
mom Says Youre Busy
and For Me To Stay Off The Air
but You See
i Get Lonely And It Helps To Talk
cause Thats About All I Can Do
im Crippled
and I Cant Walk
i Came Back And Told Him To Fire Up That Mike
and Id Talk To Him
as Long As He Liked
this Was My Dads Radio
the Little Boy Said
but I Guess Its Mine And Moms Now
cause My Daddys Dead
dad Had A Wreck About A Month Ago
he Was Trying To Get Home In A Blindin Snow
mom Has To Work Now
to Make Ends Meet
and Im Not Much Help
with My Two Crippled Feet
she Says Not To Worry
that Well Make It Alright
but I Hear Her Crying
sometimes Late At Night
you Know Theres One Thing
i Want More Than Anything Else To See
aw, I Know You Guys Are Too Busy To Bother With Me
but You See
my Dad Used To Take Me For Rides
when He Was Home
but.... I Guess Thats All Over Now
since My Daddys Gone
not One Breaker Came On The Old Cb
as That Little Crippled Boy
talked With Me
i Tried Hard To Swallow
a Lump
that Just Wouldnt Stay Down
as I Thought About My Boy
back In Greenville Town
dad Was Going To Take Mom And Me With Him
later On This Year
why L Remember Him Saying
someday This Old Truck Will Be Yours Teddy Bear
but I Know Ill Never Get To Ride An 18-Wheeler Again
but This Old Base Will Keep Me In Touch
with All My Trucker Friends
teddy Bears Gonna Back On Out Now
and Leave You Alone
cause Its About Time For
mom To Come Home
but You Give Me A Shout When Youre Passin Through
and Ill Sure Be Happy To Come Back To You
well I Came Back And I Said
uh...before You Go 10-10
whats Your Home 20
little Cb Friend
well He Gave Me His Address
and I Didnt Once Hesitate
cause This Hot Load Of Freight
was Just Gonna Have To Wait
i Turned That Truck Around On A Dime
and Headed Straight For Jackson Street, 229
and As I Rounded The Corner
oh I Got One Heck Of A Shock
l8 Wheelers Were Lined Up For Three City Blocks
why I Guess Every Driver For Miles Around
had Caught Teddy Bears Call
and That Little Crippled Boy Was Having A Ball
for As Fast As One Driver Would Carry Him In
another Would Carry Him To His Truck
and Take Off Again
well You Better Believe
i Took My Turn At Riding Teddy Bear
and Then I Carried Him Back In
and Put Him Down In His Chair
and Buddy If I Never Live To See Happiness Again
i Want You To Know
i Saw It That Day
in The Face Of That Little Man
we Took Up A Collection For Him
before His Mama Got Home
and Each Driver Said Goodbye
and Then They All Were Gone
he Shook My Hand With A Mile-Long Grin
and Said
so Long Trucker
ill Catch Ya Again
well I Hit The Interstate
with Tears In My Eyes
i Turned On The Radio
and I Got Another Surprise
breaker 1-9
came A Voice On The Air
just One Word Of Thanks
from Mama Teddy Bear
we Wish Each And Every One
a Special Prayer For You
cause, You Just Made My Little Boys
dream Come True
ill Sign Off Now
before I Start To Cry
may God Ride With Ya
10-4
and Goodbye
