Isn't this song on 'Rubber Ducky : The worst of Latvian Eurovision song contest entries' ?

Red Sovine was the Trucker Dylan. He also did Phantom 309, which Tom Waits used to close his show with.

 

Giddyyap Go mines a similar sentimental child theme, as does Minnie Pearl's answer-record.

 

The somber Trucker's Prayer shows Red to be a man of The Lord. His gospel album was heartfelt, but Red really couldn't sing.

 

My all time fave Red-cut is the wittily titled, The Woman Behind The Man Behind The Wheel.

Dated.

Crippled?

Stranger men picking up a boy they met on social media to go on a "ride"?

Grooming.

This song always has my eyes brimming with tears
