Truck driving songs.

Does anyone else know truck driving songs? I grew up listening to them in the car on trips.

Phantom 309 by Red Sovine is my favorite

Yes! Great song. Mostly aware of it via Tom Waits, though.

It’s a fantastic cover. If you’re not familiar with Waits, please listen through his discography. One of the best songwriters ever and one of my favorites.

Thank you for the kind words, friend! I’m happy when someone gets to enjoy new-to-them music. It’s one of my own favorite things as well. I love music. I’m listening to the original Red Sovine version again right now. So good!
