Well, we rolled up Interstate Forty-Four 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 brought up some reinforcements From the Illinois National Guard There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps 'N' rigs of every size Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears And choppers filled the skies Well, we shot the line, we went for broke With a thousand screamin' trucks And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus In a chartreuse microbus

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore Prepared to cross the line I could see the bridge was lined with bears But I didn't have a doggone dime I says "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll" So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight I says, "Let them truckers roll, ten-four" 'Cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' thru the night Yeah, we got a mighty 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 USA Convoy
