I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Trying to reach my destination before the sun went
down The old CB was blarin' away on Channel 1-9
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio
line And he said breaker 1-9 is anyone there Come
on back truckers and talk to Teddy Bear I keyed
the mike and I said you got it Teddy Bear And the
little boy's voice came back on the air Appreciate
the breaker who we got on that end I told him my
handle and then he began Though I'm not supposed
to bother you fellows out there Mom says you're
busy and for me to stay off the air But you see I
get lonely and it helps to talk Cause that's about
all I can do I'm crippled and I can't walk I came
back and told him to fire up that mike And I'd
talk to him as long as he'd liked This was my
dad's radio the little boy said 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
in a blinding snow Mom has to work now to make
ends meet And I'm not much help with my two
crippled feet She says not to worry that we'll
make it alright But I hear her cryin' sometimes
late at night You know there's one thing I want
more than anything else to see Oh I know you guys
are too busy to bother with me But you see my dad
used to take me for rides when he was home But I
guess that's all over now since my daddy's gone
Not one breaker came on the old CB as that little
crippled boy talked with me I tried hard to

thought about my boy back in Greenville town Dad
was gonna take mom and me with him later on this
year Why I remember him sayin' someday This old
truck will be yours Teddy Bear But I know now I'll
never get a ride on 18-wheeler again But this old
base'll keep me in touch with all my trucker
friends Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and
leave you alone Cause it's about time for mom to
come home But you give me shout when you're
passin' through And I'll surely be happy to come
back to you Well I came back and I said before you
go 10-10 What's your home 20 little CB friend He
gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate
Cause this hot load of freight would just have to
wait I turned that truck around on a dime And
headed straight for Jackson Street 229 And as I
rounded the corner oh I got one the heck of a
shock 18-wheeler were lined up for three city
blocks I guess every driver for miles around had
caught Teddy Bear's call And that little crippled
boy was havin' a ball For as fast as one driver
would carry him in Another would carry him to his
truck and take off again Well you better believe I
took 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 happiness again I
want you to know I saw it that day in the face of
that little man We took up a collection for him
before his mama got home And each driver said
goodbye and then they were all gone He shook my
hand with a mile long grin and said so long
trucker I'll catch you again Ah I hit that
Interstate with tears in my eyes I turned on the
radio and I got another surprice Breaker 1-9 came
the voice on the air Just one word of thanks from
mama Teddy Bear We wish each and everyone a
special prayer for you Cause you just made my
little boy's dream come true I'll sign off now
before I start to cry may God ride with you 10-4
and goodbye
