Red Sovine Miscellaneous Giddy Up Go (1966) The highways that wind and wonder over mountains and valleys and deserts and plains, I guess Ive driven about all of them. Cause for the past twenty-five years now the cab of a truck has been my home. And it would be kind of hard for me to settle down and not be on the go. Why I remember the first truck I drove. I was so proud I could hardly wait to get home to show my wife and little boy. And my little boy was so excited like when he saw his first snow. He wasnt old enough to say too many words. He just kept a-hollering giddy up go daddy, giddy up go. So thats what I named the old truck, Giddy Up Go. Aw, things wasnt too bad course I was gone an awful lot. And after about six years of being in and out and about I got home one day and found my wife and little boy gone. And I couldnt find out what happened, nobody seemed to know. So from that day on its just been me and old Giddy Up Go. Aw Ive made a lot of friends at all the truck stops and some of them would kid me about my little sign. Cause they knew where I got the name cause I told them about that little boy of mine and how his first words about the truck was giddy up go. Well, today I was barreling down old 66 when up beside me pulled a brand new diesel rig both stacks blowing black coal. And as she pulled around and back in front of me a lump came to my throat and my eyes started to water like I had a bad old cold a little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddy Up Go. Well I pushed old Giddy Up and stayed right on him till the next truck stop where he pulled up. And I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup. Well we got to talking shop and I said howd you come by the name on his truck Giddy Up Go. Well he said I got it from my pop. Dad used to drive a truck thats what mom talked about a lot. You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen and I lost all track of pop, Mom said he got the name from me. Well I shook his hand and told him I had something I wanted him to see. And 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 Giddy Up Go. Aw we had a lot to talk about and buddy I felt like a king. And now weve just pulled back on old 66 and he handled that rig better than any gear-jammer that Id ever seen. Well now the lines on the highway have got a much brighter glow as we go roaring down the road and me staring at the little sign that reads Giddy Up Go. |
