Verse 1
C
I was on the outskirts of a little
southern town
F
Trying to reach my destination
before the sun went down
C
The old CB was blarin' away on
Channel 1- 9
G
When there came a little boy's
voice on the radio line
Verse 2
G
And he said, "Breaker
C
1- 9, is anyone there?
Come on back truckers and talk
I keyed the mike and I said,
C
"You got it, Teddy Bear"
And the little boy's voice came
G
back on the air
Verse 3
C
"Appreciate the breaker
who we got on that end"
I told him my handle and
then he began
"Though I'm not supposed to
F
bother you fellows out there
Mom says you're busy and
C
for me to stay off the air"
Verse 4
F
But you see, I get lonely
C
and it helps to talk
G
'Cause that's about all I can do,
C
I'm crippled and I can't walk
I came back and told him to
F
fire up that mike
And I'd talk to him as long
Verse 5
G
"This was my dad's radio", the
little boy said
C
But I guess it's mine and mom's
now 'cause my daddy's dead
Dad had a wreck about a month ago
He was tryin' to get home
F
in a blinding snow
Verse 6
F
Mom has to work now to make ends meet
C
And I'm not much help
with my two crippled feet
G
She says not to worry that
we'll make it alright
But I hear her cryin' some
F
C
times late at night
Verse 7
F
You know there's one thing I want more
than anything else to see
Oh, I know you guys are too
C
busy to bother with me
G
But you see, my dad used to take me for
C
rides when he was home
But I guess that's all over now
since my daddy's gone
Verse 8
F
Not one breaker came on the old CB
C
As that little crippled boy talked with me
I tried hard to swallow a lump
G
just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy
C
back in Greenville town
Verse 9
C
Dad was gonna take mom and me with
G
F
him later on this year
Why I remember him sayin' someday
C
This old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear
G
But I know now I'll never get a ride
F
C
on 18- wheeler again
But this old base'll keep me in touch
with all my trucker friends
Verse 10
C
Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now
F
and leave you alone
Cause it's about time for
mom to come home
C
But you give me shout when
you're passin' through
And I'll surely be happy
G
to come back to you
Verse 11
G
Well, I came back and I said before
What's your home twenty,
F
little CB friend
He gave me his address and
I didn't once hesitate
C
Cause this hot load of freight
G
would just have to wait
Verse 12
G
C
I turned that truck around
on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson
Street two two nine
And as I rounded the corner,
F
oh, I got one the heck of a shock
Eighteen- wheeler were lined
C
up for three city blocks
Verse 13
C
I guess every driver for miles around
G
had caught Teddy Bear's call
And that little crippled boy
C
was havin' a ball
For as fast as one driver would
Another would carry him to his
C
truck and take off again
Verse 14
G
Well, you better believe I took
C
my turn rifin' Teddy Bear
And then carried him back in and
put him down in his chair
And buddy, if I never live to see
F
happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day
C
in the face of that little man
Verse 15
G
We took up a collection for him
before his mama got home
C
And each driver said goodbye
and then they were all gone
F
He shook my hand with a
C
F
mile long grin
C
And said, "So long trucker,
G
I'll catch you again"
C
Ah, I hit that interstate with
tears in my eyes
Verse 16
C
I turned on the radio and I got
another surprise
F
Breaker 1- 9 came the voice on the air
Just one word of thanks from mama,
We wish each and everyone
G
a special prayer for you
Cause you just made my little boy's
C
dream come true
F
C
F
I'll sign off now before I start to cry
May God ride with you
C
10- 4 and goodbye
