Generate meaning
1
The highways that wind and wander over mountain and valleys deserts and plains
2
I guess I've drove about all of 'em
3
Cause for the past 25 years now the cab of a truck has been my home
4
And it'd be kinda hard for me to settle down and not be on the go
5
Why I remember the first truck I drove
6
I was so proud I could hardly wait to get home to show my wife and my little boy
7
And my little boy was so excited like so when he saw his first snow
8
He wasn't old enough to say too many words
9
He just kept hollering goddyup go daddy giddyup go
10
So that's what I named the old truck Giddyup go
11
Oh things wasn't too bad of course I's gone a lot
12
And after about six years I got home one day and found my wife and little boy gone
13
I couldn't find out what happened nobody seemed to know
14
So from that day on it's been me and old Giddyup go
15
I've made a lot of friends at all the truck stops
16
And some of 'em would kick me about my litle sign
17
Of course they knew where I got the name
18
Cause I told 'em about that little boy of mine
19
And how his first word about that old truck was Giddyup go
20
Today I was barrelin' down old 66
21
When up beside me pulled down a brand new diesel rig
22
Both stacks of blowin' black coal
23
And as she pulled around and back in front of me a big lump came in my throat
24
And my eyes watered like I had a bad old cold
25
A little sign on the back of the truck that read Giddyup go
26
Well I pushed old Giddyup go stayed right on him
27
Until the next truck stop where he'd pulled up
28
I waited till he went in and I offered to buy him a cup
29
Well we got to talkin' shop and I said
30
Now did you come by the name on your truck Giddyup go
31
Well he said I got it from my pop
32
Dad used to drive a truck that's what mom talked about a lot
33
You see I lost mom when I was just past sixteen and I lost all track of pop
34
Mom said he got the name from me
35
I shook his hand and told him that I had something I wanted him to see
36
I took him out to the old truck
37
And brushed off some of the dirt so the name would show
38
And his eyes got big and bright as he read Giddyup go
39
Oh we had a lot of things to talk about and buddy I felt like a king
40
And now we've just pulled back on old 66 and he's handled that big rig
41
Better than any gearjammer that I'd ever seen
42
Well now the lines on the highway have got much brighter glow
43
As we go roarin' down the road and me starin' at a little sign that reads Giddyup go
