Teady Bear - Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town[00:00:11]
Trying to reach my destination before the sun went down[00:00:14]
The old CB was blarin' away on Channel 1-9[00:00:19]
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line [00:00:23]
And he said breaker 1-9 is anyone there[00:00:27]
Come on back truckers and talk to Teddy Bear[00:00:31]
I keyed the mike and I said you got it Teddy Bear[00:00:34]
And the little boy's voice came back on the air [00:00:38]
Appreciate the breaker who we got on that end[00:00:41]
I told him my handle and then he began[00:00:45]
Though I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there[00:00:49]
Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air [00:00:52]
But you see I get lonely and it helps to talk[00:00:56]
I came back and told him to fire up that mike[00:01:06]
And I'd talk to him as long as he liked [00:01:10]
This was my dad's radio the little boy said[00:01:14]
But I guess it's mine and mom's now 'cause my daddy's dead[00:01:17]
Dad had a wreck about a month ago[00:01:22]
He was tryin' to get home in a blinding snow [00:01:25]
Mom has to work now to make ends meet[00:01:28]
And I'm not much help with my two crippled feet[00:01:32]
She says not to worry that we'll make it alright[00:01:35]
But I hear her cryin' sometimes late at night [00:01:39]
You know there's one thing I want more than anything else to see[00:01:43]
Oh I know you guys are too busy to bother with me[00:01:47]
But you see my dad used to take me for rides when he was home[00:01:51]
But I guess that's all over now since my daddy's gone [00:01:57]
Not one breaker came on the old CB[00:02:02]
As that little crippled boy talked with me[00:02:05]
I tried hard to swallow a lump just wouldn't stay down[00:02:08]
As I thought about my boy back in Greenville town [00:02:13]
Dad was gonna take mom and me with him later on this year[00:02:18]
But I know now I'll never get a ride on 18-wheeler again[00:02:28]
But this old base'll keep me in touch with all my trucker friends [00:02:31]
Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone[00:02:36]
'Cause it's about time for mom to come home[00:02:40]
But you give me shout when you're passin' through[00:02:43]
And I'll surely be happy to come back to you [00:02:46]
Well I came back and I said before you go 10-10[00:02:49]
What's your home 20 little CB friend[00:02:53]
He gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate[00:02:57]
'Cause this hot load of freight would just have to wait[00:03:01]
I turned that truck around on a dime[00:03:05]
And headed straight for Jackson Street 229[00:03:07]
And as I rounded the corner oh I got one heck of a shock[00:03:12]
18-wheeler were lined up for three city blocks [00:03:17]
I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call[00:03:20]
And that little crippled boy was havin' a ball[00:03:27]
For as fast as one driver would carry him in[00:03:30]
Another would carry him to his truck and take off again [00:03:33]
Well you better believe I took my turn rifin' Teddy Bear[00:03:38]
And then carried him back in and put him down in his chair[00:03:42]
And buddy if I never live to see happiness again[00:03:47]
I want you to know I saw it that day in the face of that little man [00:03:51]
We took up a collection for him before his mama got home[00:03:56]
And each driver said goodbye and then they were all gone[00:04:02]
He shook my hand with a mile long grin[00:04:07]
And said so long trucker I'll catch you again [00:04:10]
Ah I hit that Interstate with tears in my eyes[00:04:15]
I turned on the radio and I got another surprice[00:04:19]
Breaker 1-9 came the voice on the air[00:04:24]
Just one word of thanks from mama Teddy Bear [00:04:27]
We wish each and everyone a special prayer for you[00:04:31]
'Cause you just made my little boy's dream come true[00:04:35]
I'll sign off now before I start to cry[00:04:39]
May God ride with you 10-4 and goodbye[00:04:44]
