The Trucker's Last Ride:

He traveled the roads
In years gone past
A life he chose and
Hoped it would last
Driving all night
From state to state
Trying to get home
And arriving so late
He parked his truck now
His engine has stopped
And those who love him
Their hearts have dropped
He traveled the country
With a smile of great pride
Now he drives the streets of Heaven
On the trucker’s last ride
May God ride with you
10-4 and goodbye.
