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 on
channel 1- 9
G
When there came a little boy's
Verse 2
voice on the radio line
C
"Breaker 1- 9, is anyone there?
Come on back,
F
truckers and talk to Teddy Bear"
C
Well, I keyed the mike and said,
G
"You got it, Teddy Bear"
C
And a little boy's voice came
back on the air
Verse 3
C
Appreciate the Breaker
who we got on that end
I told him my handle and
F
then he began
Though I'm not supposed to
C
bother you fellows out there
Mom says, you're busy and
G
for me to stay off the air
Verse 4
G
But you see I get lonely
C
and it helps to talk
'Cause that's about all I can do,
F
I'm crippled and I can't walk
C
I came back and told him to
G
fire up that mike
And I'd talk to him as
C
long as he'd liked
Verse 5
F
"This was my dad's radio",
C
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
G
in a blindin' snow
Verse 6
G
Mom has to work now to
C
make ends meet
And I'm not much help with
F
my two crippled feet
She says not to worry that
C
we'll make it alright

But I hear her cryin' sometimes
C
late at night
Verse 7
C
You know there's one thing,
I want more than anything else to see
F
Oh I know you guys are too
C
busy to bother with me
G
But you see my dad used to take me
for rides when he was home
C
But I guess that's all over now
since my daddy's gone
F
Not one breaker came on
Verse 8
the old CB
C
As that little crippled boy talked with me
G
C
I tried hard to swallow a lump
just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy
back in Greenville Town
Verse 9
C
Dad was gonna take mom and
F
me with him later on this year
Why I remember him sayin' someday
C
This old truck will be yours Teddy Bear
G
But I know now, I'll never get
a ride on 18- wheeler again
C
But this old base'll keep me in touch
with all my trucker friends
F
Teddy Bear's gonna
Verse 10
F
back on
out now and leave you alone
C
'Cause it's about time for
mom to come home

But you give me shout when you're

passin' through

G
C
to come back to you
Verse 11
C
Well, I came back and I said,
F
"Before you go 10- 10
What's your home 20 little CB friend?"
C
Well, he gave me his address
and I didn't once hesitate
G
'Cause this hot load of freight
C
would just have to wait
Verse 12
C
I turened that truck around on a dime
F
And headed straight for
C
Jackson Street 229
And as I rounded the corner, oh,
G
C
I got one the heck of a shock
18- wheeler were lined up for three city blocks
Verse 13
C
I guess every driver for miles around
had caught Teddy Bear's call
F
And that little crippled
boy was havin' a ball
C
For as fast as one driver
would carry him in
Another would carry him to his
G
truck and take off again
Verse 14
G
Well, you better believe I took my turn
C
F
rifin' Teddy Bear
C
And then carried him back in and
G
put him down in his chair
C
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
Verse 15
F
We took up a collection for him before
his mama got home
C
And each driver said goodbye and
then they were all gone
G
He shook my hand with a mile long grin
And said, "So long trucker
C
I'll catch you again"

Well, I hit that Interstate with tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio and I got

Just one word of thanks

from mama Teddy Bear

prayer for you
'Cause you just made my little

boy's dream come true

May God ride with you
