    the 70s CB radio and trucker craze no doubt had a effect at Bally
    ....................................................................
    CONVOY-

    Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
    In a Kenworth pullin' logs
    Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
    And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
    We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
    'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
    I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
    "And I'm about to put the hammer down."

    [Chorus]
    'Cause we got a little convoy
    Rockin' through the night.
    Yeah, we got a little convoy,
    Ain't she a beautiful sight?
    Come on and join our convoy
    Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
    We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
    'Cross the U-S-A.
    Convoy!

    By the time we got into Tulsa Town,
    We had eighty-five trucks in all.
    But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
    And them bears was wall-to-wall.
    Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
    They even had a bear in the air!
    I says, "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.
    "We about to go a-huntin' bear."

    [Chorus]
    'Cause we got a great big convoy
    Rockin' through the night.
    Yeah, we got a great big convoy,
    Ain't she a beautiful sight?
    Come on and join our convoy
    Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
    We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
    'Cross the U-S-A.
    Convoy!

    Well, we rolled up Interstate 44
    Like a rocket sled on rails.
    We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
    And left 'em settin' on the scales.
    By the time we hit that Chi-town,
    Them bears was a-gettin' smart:
    They'd brought up some reinforcements
    From the Illinois National Guard.
    There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
    And rigs of ev'ry size.
    Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears
    And choppers filled the skies.
    Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
    With a thousand screamin' trucks
    An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
    In a chartreuse micra-bus.

    Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore
    And prepared to cross the line
    I could see the bridge was lined with bears
    But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.
    I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
    "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."
    So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
    I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."
