Hey!
I'm trying to find a song, I know some lyrics but have no idea who sang it or what the songs title is. My dad had this song on an old tape when I was little.

lyrics I remember

Well I drove across this country, through the wind and the rain and the snow ...

well our love is as big as this ol rig and lordy how I miss that little girl. and our love shinning bright like the high beam lights, the sooner I'll be home with her again.

I have a stack of truck driving song records KNEE HIGH

but i do not recognize that one...

and without a title, artist's name, year - or more to go on,
it is a TUFFY!

what year was it? and was the tape a Cassette or 8-Track...that would help nail it down a bit, maybe.

Here's the lyrics I have don't know the song name or artist though - we called it Truck Driver's Girl
TRUCK DRIVER'S GIRL

I drove across this country
Thru the wind and rain and the snow
Now I'm driving' home to my little girl
She's the only love I've known

Don't care what's around the corner
Or what lying around the bend
The more miles I put behind me
The sooner I'll be seeing her again.

CHORUS
And our love is as big as this old rig
Lord how I miss that little girl
And her eyes shone bright like high beam lights
And soon I'll be home again with her

I know she's waiting for me
She's waiting there alone
Well I'm heading for town with the hammer down
Tomorrow Ill be driving home

Those nights I've spent without her
As I haul this load along
Well I thank the Lord For the telephone
And the good old truck driving song.

CHORUS (twice)
