McCall did a trucking album, and one of the songs,called "Wolf Creek Pass," relates a story about a driver who loses his air-brakes while coming down a steep grade in an overloaded chicken truck. It's a great song.

CHICKEN TRUCK - Recorded by John Anderson Written by Ervan James Parker, Monroe Fields & John Anderson Well, It was mornin' when I left Alabama; It must have been around in mid July I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia; And the feathers was a-flyin' like snow out of the sky. CHORUS/Chicken truck, chicken truck; Behind it I'm stuck Chicken truck, chicken truck; It's just my luck, chicken truck (Chicken truck) on Highway Sixty-Five Well, the hens are a squawin' and the roosters are a-crowin' He's a slowin' me down when I need to keep goin' Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five. CHICKEN IN BLACK - Recorded by Johnny Cash/Written by Gary Gentry For two long years my head hurt bad; The doctor checked me and he shook his head He said, "I'm sorry to tell ya; But your body's outlived your brain" He said, "I know this doctor in New York, son; And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one" So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off of the train. CHORUS/I said, "Stick 'em up everybody, I'm robbin' this place; Drop all of your money in my guitar case Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door" A lady said, "Why you're Johnny Cash"; I said, "No m'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash And I am the best bank robber in New York." -------------------------------------------------------------- WALK, CHICKEN, WALK ('Cause You're Too Fat To Fly) - Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens Walk, Chicken, Walk; 'Cause you're too fat to fly Walk, Chicken, Walk; I'll regret it til the day I die She turned around, looked me right in the face I said, "Pardon me, Ma'am, I'm due some other place" Walk, Chicken, Walk; 'Cause you're too fat to fly. |

Iran is notorious for having very bad road accidents. I was driving into town one day when I saw what was obviously an accident way up ahead. As I got nearer I saw what appeared to be blood all over the road. I prepared myself for a very gruesome sight. As I got nearer still I saw large chunks of what looked like severed limbs in the road. My stomach was really turning by this time. When I finally got near enough it turned out to be an overturned truck of watermelons. Bert. |

It must have been around in mid-July. I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia, And the feathers was a-flyin' like snow out of the sky. I couldn't get up the speed enough to pass him, And a funny smell was a-gettin' close to me, And somethin' keeps on messin' up my windshield, And the further I go, the harder it gets to see. CHORUS: Chicken truck, chicken truck, behind it I'm stuck. Chicken truck, chicken truck, it's just my luck, Chicken truck, chicken truck, on Highway Sixty-Five. Well, the hens are a-squawkin' and the roosters are a-crowin'. He's a-slowin' me down when I need to keep goin', Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five. Then he slowed down and I fin'lly got around him On a big long hill just south of Tennessee. He had a box of Colonel Sanders on his dashboard, And he was eatin' fried chicken and a-throwin' the bones on me. (Repeat chorus) |
