I'm an ole tanker yanker but this song always struck a cord with me for some reason. Lonnie was a great singer, and from what I understand, a great truck driver too. It's to bad we lost him at such an early age. If memory serves me correctly, he was only 27 when he past in 1962. Such a shame, I feel he so much more left in him to offer in the way of great recordings. He is sorely missed.
