Verse 1
C
I was on the outskirts
of a little southern town
F
Tryin' to reach my destination
before the sun went down
C
The old CB was blarin' away
G
on channel 1-9!
When there came a little boy's
voice on the radio line
C
And he said: "Breaker
Verse 2
C
1-9! Is anyone there?
ome on back,
F
truckers and talk to Teddy Bear!"
Well, I keyed the mike and said:
C
"You got it, Teddy Bear!"
G
And a little boy's voice
Verse 3
came back on the air
C
"'Preciate the break,
Who we got on that end?"
I told him my handle, and,
then he began:
F
"Now, I'm not supposed to bother
you fellows out there
Mom says you're busy an
C
d for me to stay off the air
Verse 4
G
I get lonely and it helps to talk
C
'Cause that's about all I can do,
I'm crippled, and, I can't walk!"
F
I came back and told him
to fire up that mike
Bb
C
And I'd talk to him, as long as he liked
G
C
F
"This was my dad's radio", the little boy
Verse 5
C
said
"But I guess it's mine and mom's now,
G
C
'cause my daddy's dead!"
F
"Dad had a wreck about
a month ago
He was trying to get home
C
in a blindin' snow
Verse 6
G
Mom has to work now, to make ends meet
And I'm not much help,
C
with my two crippled feet!"
"She says not to worry that
F
we'll make it alright
But, I hear her crying,
C
sometimes late at night
Verse 7
G
You know there's just one thing I want
C
more than anything else to see
F
Aw, I know you guys are too
C
busy to bother with me!"
"But, you see, my dad used to take
F
me for rides when he was home
C
But, I guess that's all over now,
since my daddy's gone
Verse 8
C
G
Not one breaker came on the old CB
C
As that little crippled boy talked with me
F
I tried hard to swallow a lump
that just wouldn't stay down
C
As I thought about my boy
G
back in Greenville Town
Verse 9
C
G
"Dad was going to take mom and me
F
C
with him later on this year, Why,
F
l remember 'I'm saying: 'Someday this old truck will be yours,
C
F
Teddy Bear!'
But, I know I'll never get to ride
C
an 18-wheeler again
F
But, this old base will keep me in touch
G
with all my trucker friends!"
C
"Teddy Bear's gonna back on out
Verse 10
now and leave you alone
'Cause it's about time

for mom to come home
C
F
But, you give me a shout when
you're passin' through
C
And I'll sure be happy to come
Verse 11
C
Well, I came back and I said: uh!
"Before you go 10-10
What's your home 20, little
CB friend?"
Well, he gave me his address and
F
I didn't once hesitate
'Cause this hot load of freight
C
was just gonna have to wait
Verse 12
C
I turned that truck around
on a dime
G
And headed straight for Jackson Street,
229
C
And as I rounded the corner, oh,
I got one heck of a shock
F
late wheelers were lined up
for three city blocks!
Verse 13
C
Why, I guess every driver for miles around
G
had caught Teddy Bear's call
C
And that little crippled
boy was having a ball
For as fast as one driver
would carry him in
Another would carry him to his
F
C
F
truck and take off again
Verse 14
F
Well, you better believe I took my turn
C
at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in and
G
put him down in his chair
And buddy if I never live
C
to see happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day,
F
in the face of that little man
Verse 15
F
We took up a collection for him before
C
his mama got home
F
G
And each driver said goodbye
C
and then they all were gone
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
grin
And said: "So long,
Verse 16
trucker I'll catch ya again!"
F
Well, I hit the Interstate with
tears in my eyes
C
I turned on the radio and I got
another surprise
"Breaker 1-9!" Came
G
a voice on the air
C
"Just one word of thanks from
Mama Teddy Bear!"
Verse 17
C
"We wish each and every one,
F
a special prayer for you
'Cause, You just made my little
F
C
boy's dream come true
F
C
I'll sign off now, before, I start to cry
F
C
May God ride with you,
10-4, and goodbye."
