WESLEY'S RIDE Jed Dunkin C 2011 BMI
Wesley was a big man with a big heart
and for him that was just the start
nothing for his family that he wouldn't do
he loved his church and ford trucks too
CHORUS:
With a big ol grin and a big ol laugh
he was filling that truck up with gas
he had that rig all polished up with pride
and everybody knew it was Wesley's ride
trips with mom Betty and sister Janelle
and brother Stan would come along as well
California reunions and Nebraska towns
to see kin folks scattered all around
CHORUS
One day he was getting dressed all alone
when a band of angels came to take him home
they had a golden rig all fixed up inside
and said Wesley this is your new ride
CHORUS:
Then they tore though the sky to take him home
where he could see God sitting on his throne
Dad Willie Grandma Grandad and people you knew
and your brother Brad will even be there too
and with a big ol grin and a big ol laugh
he was filling that truck up with gas
he had that rig all polished up with pride
and everybody knew it was Wesley's ride
and the Angels sang ride Wesley ride
ride Wesley ride ride Wesley ride
drive that truck on across the sky

LET HER SMOKE C. 2013 Jed Dunkin
THERE CAME A LEGEND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
WHEN IT CAME TO TRUCKIN HE WAS THE BEST
AS A DRIVER HE COULD PASS ANY TEST
HE WAS THE ARIZONA SHAKER OUT OF THE STICKER PATCH
FAST AS LIGHTNING AND HARD TO CATCH
WITH 18 GEARS AND 600 HORSE CAT
CHORUS:
YEAH HE WAS ONE BAD MACHINE
HE KEPT IT POLISHED HE KEPT IT CLEAN
WAS SOMETHING LIKE YOU'D NEVER EVER SEEN
HE WAS A BAD BOY AND HE AIN'T NO JOKE
HE'D ROLL DOWN THE HAMMER LANE AND ON THE CB
YOU WOULD HERE HIM SAY"BOY'S LET HER SMOKE
ONE NIGHT HE STARTED OFF A HIGH DESERT HILL
WHEN HIS RIG GOT AWAY AND TOOK A NASTY SPILL
AND THEY SAY THE SIGHT OF THAT WRECK IS THERE STILL
HIS TRUCK EXPLODED IN A BALL OF FLAME
AND TRUCKERS SAY IT WAS A BLOWN TIRE THEY CLAIM
BUT WAS THERE SOMEONE ELSE TO BLAME
CHORUS:
CAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER STORY TOLD AS WELL
AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD SEE HIM IN HELL
IT'S ABOUT A WOMAN SCORNED A LOVE LIFE TORN
AND A SECRET ABOUT A BABY BORN
HE IS BURIED AT THE TOP OF THAT OLD HILL
DRIVER'S SWEAR HE ROAMS AROUND THERE STILL
AND IN THE DARKNESS JUST BEFORE THE DAWN BROKE
YOU CAN HEAR A GHOSTLY WHISPER (PAUSE) BOY'S LET HER SMOKE

MY BRAIN HAS TURNED TO TOAST
AND FOLKS THINK THAT I'M INSANE
I DRIVE MILE AFTER MILE
WITH A BIG OLD SMILE
CLEAR ACROSS THE USA
AND BURNING UP THESE ROADS
HAULIN THESE HEAVY LOADS
IS THE WAY I DRAW MY PAY
I'M A GEAR JAMMER WITH A BIG HAMMER
JAWIN ON MY OLD CB
SCAN THE ROAD AHEAD
TILL MY EYES ARE TURNING RED
SO THE BEARS WON'T CATCH ME
I'M ALWAYS IN A HURRY
SO THE COMPANY WON'T WORRY
THAT THE LOAD WILL DELIVER ON TIME
THEN I CALL MAMA AT HOME
ON HER NEW SMART PHONE
TO LET HER KNOW EVERYTHING WENT FINE
BRIDGE:
I DON'T PUNCH NO CLOCK
I ROLL AND ROCK
DON'T NOBODY OWN ME
I'M FREE AS A BIRD
IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD
THERE AIN'T NO PLACE THAT I AIN'T SEEN

TRUCK DRIVERS FROM OUTER SPACE C,2013 Jed Dunkin
ONE NIGHT DRIVING OUT OF LORADO
BOBBY JOE WAS HAULING A LOAD BACK TO NEOSHO
WHEN HE SAW A GLOW LIGHTING UP THE SKY
FOR A MINUTE HE COULD'NT BELIEVE HIS EYES
IT CAME FLYIN IN AT A LIGHTNING PACE
IT WAS TRUCK DRIVERS FROM OUTER SPACE
THEY HAD GLOWING BLUE KENWORTHS WITH SILVER WINGS
BOBBY JOE HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH THINGS
THEY HAD GOLD STARS REVOLVING AROUND THEIR STACKS
BOBBY JOE SAID I AIN'T NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE THAT
THEY HAD SHINNY WHITE TRAILERS BRIGHT LIKE THE SUN
HE SAID WE DID'NT COME TO WORK WE CAME TO HAVE FUN
CHORUS:
IT WAS A CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WESTERN KIND
THE KIND TO MAKE A MAN QUESTION HIS MIND
BUT THERE IT WAS RIGHT IN HIS FACE
IT WAS TRUCK DRIVERS FROM OUTER SPACE
SOLO
BOBBY JOE CLIMBED DOWN FROM HIS LARGE CAR
SAID WHERE YA ALL FROM SOME NEBULAR STAR
THEIR BOSS SAID WITH A BIG OLD GRIN
WE COME FROM LONESTAR IN THE MILKY WAY MY FRIEND
THEN HE GOT OUT AND STUCK OUT HIS HAND
AND SAID IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET ANOTHER TRUCK DRIVIN MAN
CHORUS
