Del Reeves - Giddy Up Go lyrics

Cause I told 'em about that little boy of mine And how his first word about that old truck was Giddyup Go Well today I was barrelin' down old 66 When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig Both stacks of blowin' black coal And as she pulled around and back in front of me A big ole lump came in my throat And my eyes watered like I had a bad old cough A little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddyup Go Well I pushed old Giddyup Go stayed right on him Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him 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 cause 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 the old 66 And he's handled that big rig Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever seen Well sir 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 Go
