Red Sovine Lyrics
Giddy up go

The highways that wind and wander over mountain
and valleys deserts and plains I guess I've drove
about all of 'em Cause for the past 25 years now
the cab of a truck has been my home And it'd be
kinda hard for me to settle down and not be on the
go Why I remember the first truck I drove I was so
proud I could hardly wait to get home to show my
wife and my little boy And my little boy was so
excited like so when he saw his first snow He
wasn't old enough to say too many words He just
kept hollering goddyup go daddy giddyup go So
that's what I named the old truck Giddyup go Oh
things wasn't too bad of course I's gone a lot And
after about six years I got home one day and found
my wife and little boy gone I couldn't find out
what happened nobody seemed to know So from that
day on it's been me and old Giddyup go I've made a

cup Well we got to talkin' shop and I said Now did
you come by the name on your truck Giddyup go Well
he said I got it from my pop Dad used to drive a
truck that's what mom talked about a lot You see I
lost mom when I was just past sixteen and I lost
all track of pop Mom said he got the name from me
I shook his hand and told him that I had something
I wanted him to see I took him out to the old
truck And brushed off some of the dirt so the name
would show And his eyes got big and bright as he
read Giddyup go Oh we had a lot of things to talk
about and buddy I felt like a king And now we've
just pulled back on old 66 and he's handled that
big rig Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever
seen Well now the lines on the highway have got
much brighter glow As we go roarin' down the road
and me starin' at a little sign that reads Giddyup
