I cried as a child when I listened to this song. Well it's been a long time. I'm a truck driver in my 50's and the tears just giddy up go.

One of my fathers favorites. He was a truck driver(tanker). Dad passed away this week at 80myears of age. I remember the day he taught me to drive that big truck , I was 14 years of age. Came to this site to reminisce and try to fill an empty spot from within my body. Memories of dad and listening to songs that he loved

[@iambalkan]

which you all the best. cheers!

[@oldfart2413]

thanks . still difficult at this time but I know he is jamming gears with his brother in Heaven

[@user-ok9gy7mq1z]

God bless you and your dad

[@concernedcitizen5057]

It's a strange addiction, the man loves what he does but hates missing the time with his family

[@ruralhealthadmin]

You may never get this- as you posted it a few years ago - but I came here for the very reason as you, just this past week, my Dad w/6 million safe driving miles behind the wheel, passed at 85 years old - I hope it gets easier over the years. Blessings.

Red Sovine was one of the greatest country singers for Truckers. Amazing songs he made. He had some that were not about trucks and those were good to, but most of them seemed to be for Truckers. My grandfather was a trucker for some time. He told me some funny stories.

[@cassandravanhornwyman9022]

One of my favourites from the first time I ever seen a big rig pull in our driveway. Brought tears to my eyes then and still does to this day. My Husband is a truck driver and My Father-in-law's a truck driver and my Boys getting his license as we speak. Blessings each and everyone of you, to the true truck drivers🙏🏼💪🏼 may Jesus always bring you home❤

[@johngrimm514]

I just lost my dad 10/27/2021, he had been truck driver for more than 30+ years. I was raised on truck driving songs all of my life, especially my many favorite from Red Sovine, like Teddy Bear, Giddy up go, and Phantom 309.

[@douglaspotts21]

I just dropped a tear

[@bobevens9215]

All this brings back from my childhood to. My daddy was a trucker. Hauled milk for Michigan Milk Producers Association. Many times I went with him to Harbor Beach Michigan then down to Detroit. Every night getting home around 10 or 11 at night. Sure do miss him. Had all these songs memorized when I was a child. Bless the truckers who risk their life for all of us.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Still hits hard after all these years.

[@darlenemstrommer7687]

I would love to be in 18 wheeler again loved that

[@scottmefford6917]

Loved this song as a kid. Love it just as much now. On the verge of tears near the end though.

When I first started listening to this song it reminds me of the Truckers back Home. Florida. New a few Truckers. Always enjoy hearing this song. Just a word of Thank s for all you Truckers for helping delivering the freight. God-Bless you Truckers.

[@Carollaine-yv2fw]

I drove OTR 48 and Canada my truck driving songs kept me going

[@TacticalSpray]

Was looking for general trucking music for this video... wow this is something else.. this is poetry and so poignant.

[@cheeseburger3072]

Started driving truck in 1987, I'm now 62 and still driving. I passed along my knowledge to my son who is still driving and to those who I trained over the years. I am saddened to see what has happened to the industry, I used to love my job, in fact I never referred to it as a job, it was a lifestyle. Now it's a job, I'm looking forward to retirement now, counting the days.

[@Welsh_Patriot_J]

I'm a 27 year old trucker and all I could do was put myself in this guy's shoes. This is real music, that can make you feel something! Now like the modern rubbish of today. Just copied pasted and spat out the back of a computer.

[@markko17]

My Dad has a '55 Chevy pickup which we called "Giddyup Go". Thanks for posting.

[@chistieryman6756]

❤❤I loved this song so much when I was growing up I love truckers and all of very beautiful semi trucks when I found out that this was a true story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@randyovercash8234]

Happy vets Day. Truckers. And dock workers. American heroes. Let us thank our truckers america. True American heroes !

[@davidsaunders6573]

I was a proud trucker for about 35 years until I was forced to retire being on the road cost me a wife and I missed a lot of my daughters life, well all you truckers be safe

[@rhondaprickett5569]

Giddy up go bring’s back memories.

[@user-fg8rk6wl9p]

I drove a truck for 29 years and that was my CB handle giddy up go song beings back a lot of memories of my day's on the road

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

Reminds me of Dad. Red Sovine was a favorite of his. He drove a truck at times. As a child of the Depression, and a veteran of two wars, he always had a side hustle or three, trucking was one. He taught me. And I remember Red Sovine on the radio. My much younger wife cries every single time Red Sovine plays on one of the music apps.

[@Matthewwithers33]

These songs bring me to tears because I used to sit in my late grandfathers lap listening to his vinyl records with him and it reminds me of the amazing times as a kid 😭 they are good tears

[@deanr50]

I grew up in a trucker's family. I too know the sadness of dad being away from home just not as stastic as the song. My thoughts and memories as a trucker myself go to those who move this country on trucks. My respect and dedication to the old timers and the mid to the new who handle this job every day of the week.

[@marlinmccurdy3505]

Thank you sir

[@evelynford7244]

I live in a truckers family. I know how it feels to be with out a dad. My father is a trucker which he hauls livestock. I respect this song cause of it. But I want to follow in his steps.

[@rowdyrandom4748]

I come from long line as well been told by ole timers us good ole boys are a dying breed but in my eyes the highway is my only home

[@leerussell586]

[@mizzmead8077]

Trucker wife he's in heaven now but we loved this song and all of Red Sovine music. People just don't understand what the truck drivers go through, have to be there to see it and how stupid drivers can be with the big rigs coming down and they play tag?? no idea what they are doing.

[@margaretstorms5281]

My dad died with his truck. I was 8 and my sister was 10. I cry to this song. Momma would sob everytime she heard it.nI drove and now so does my son.

[@fleendarthemagnificent7372]

I grew up at the tail end of CB radio and used it daily for fun with my friends, but no matter what technology comes forth, like the telegraph was the pioneer in national communication, CB radio and HAM, these were the first modern pioneers in national mobile communications that will never die. RIP, Red.

[@XxHaTeRsFaDiN]

[@exploringtheoutdoors9476]

I wonder if this is a true story I love this song

[@j.h.customsireland]

The one video that id like to dedicate to my dad

[@Inziagold]

Not my usual listening pleasure but today I'm missing my Daddy knowing I'll never see him pulling up in his big rig again. Pancreatic cancer claimed his life and took my Daddy away, from his 7 children.

[@dsb345]

It is, He was gone so long on the road that he didnt know what was going on with his family, and by the time he came back they just up and dissapeared, and nobody knew where they went, and knew how much his son loved trucks and his father. His son was the one with the brand new rig that pulled up around his father and both trucks had the name "Giddy Up Go", thats when they pulled into the truck stop, and got to knowing each other, and then found out his wife sadly died, and rode into the night

[@genebarnes6108]

First time heard the song dam onions.

[@stevenadolny4575]

Trucking sure isn't what it used to be. And neither is the music ❤giddy up go, was a lifestyle

[@artcarcone6977]

Unfortunately, they don't make those songs anymore. That was when people were kinder to one another, and our hearts weren't hardened with hatred.

[@user-lw7th8um8i]

Great song

[@jellison62]

Minie pearl did a song called giddy up go return. It was the end of this song from the point of view of a waitress at the truck stop they pulled into.

[@FirstGendodgegarage]
