OK...
how many listees can hear the song in their head reading the lyrics here ?
a lot I hope !
Actually ..CV McCall ...short career I believe..
hot stuff though.
this is a great song.
Reminds me of the song Wolf Crik Pass ....another CW McCall standard .
the song about runnin' Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado ..
the east side goes into Junnison, CO or some town like that.
nowadays of course..
truckers' hours behind the wheel are monitored via GPS..
had a vanagon customer with a Truckers News magazine ( he's a real
trucker ) ..
One trucker in the magainze said he carries a bicycle to tour locally
wherever he is waiting to be able to drive again .
they only get 10 hours a day or something now ..electronically monitored.
I prefer the old wild and wooly times myself.
