hey Ronnie, all my uncles and my son too are truck drivers, I actually wrote it as , a truck driver , it said, I drive an old eighteen wheeler , and in my time I thought I"d seen it all.....but the record label wanted it to be anyone and not a truck driver, well, as our song went up the charts , Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses , went with it, I was right!! it was time for a a truck driving song..

[@kellyhughart2105]

I much prefer the country music of the 80's and 90's to the so-called "country music" of today. Back then, country music had heart. Today's country music doesn't even come close! This beautiful song by Moe Bandy just speaks to my heart. I grew up in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley in California. This part of California (the San Joaquin Valley) is very conservative, patriotic, and Christian, and we are proud of that. I have loved ones who served in the military, including my Dad, who passed away two years ago after a long battle with cancer, and is terribly missed. He was in the Navy during the Korean War. I can't understand for the life of me, how anybody can hate America. Like that line from the classic Merle Haggard song, "Fightin' Side Of Me" says, "If you don't love it, leave it!" Makes sense to me! Many of us do love this country, and we are not ashamed of that.

[@john1cheree]

This past summer, I was driving a semi truck back east through New York state. And I went through a small town on the forth of July, As I breached a small hill I could see some of a community, A modern school off to the left, a ball field where people were playing ball, of several different games. Next near the road was a large community pick nick, Bar B que , lots people socializing. And across the street was a cemetery with some very old stones , very old, And that cemetery was not lacking for visitors that day. Flags flew every where. Family not forgetting family and friends. Going further into town ,I went down a truck route.Lined with Norman Rockwell style homes, trees, You could feel the homey community there, Picturesque as it could be. an older gentleman sprang from his lawn chair, An older man, tall, with a big broad smile waving at me like he'd seen an old friend. , A grin a mile wide on his face, He was wearing cap with a truck logo on it. I waved back, And his smile got even wider, if that was even possible. Then he waved with both arms high above his head., I guess I made his day, I could only surmise he was a retired trucker. Boy when I hear this song , Goose bumps jump up and I cry a river, Having grown up in a small town my self. This song really hit a cord. Knowing that the American spirit is like this nearly every where across this wonderful land we call America, Our Home of freedom. From what the news media beams at us every day, they paint a much different image of us. But that day I'll remember forever, Much thanks to that small town in New York. I love cross country driving. Unfortunately that was my last run. And I am really happy to have seen this beautiful GOD blessed country. It is what we make it.

"There were old men on benches playing checkers, children playing hopscotch on the square, and high above a statue, of an Unknown Soldier, Old Glory was waving in the air." I lived in Lexington, North Carolina for three years; it is a great little town. Anyway, those lyrics always remind me of Lexington because in the square they had a statue of an Unknown Civil War Soldier and if I remember rightly on his buckle were the initials "CSA" not "USA".

Clear back in the 1980s - the exact year I can't remember for certain - my wife and I had just moved to a small country town Snyder County in Pennsylvania. In the fall of that year we went for the first time to the annual Bean Soup Festival. It was that night we saw and heard for the first time Moe Bandy who sang a number of his hit songs. But when he sang "Americanna," I immediately fell in love, not only the song, but even more so with the lyrics which so eloquently expressed, and still do, of those small but common elements over time that have helped make, shape, and preserve all that is great about America. As Moe sang it, I can recall tears beginning to well up with the message it conveyed. Here it is 2018 - almost 30 years later - I am sitting here watching Moe's video, and my eyes once again well up with tears long after that night at the Bean Soup Festival and the countless times I have heard it since. Though my wife who has since passed away, she was and still would be moved by the true feelings expressed in these lyrics. I would hope that during these turbulent times that we may all stop and reflect upon all that is beautiful and great and what makes each of us "---people proud and free." Thanks so much for sharing this memorable Moe Bandy classic.

Here's another great singer that I missed in my younger days. This one and "Too Old to Die Young" are two of his best I think. Thanks for posting, I'll continue to enjoy this.

GREETINGS FROM THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY CALLED THE USA!! It is time for Republicans, Democrats and Independents to get together and to WORK TOGETHER towards a brighter future!! We are ALL ONE NATION UNDER GOD!! We ALL love this country. We just have different ideas of how to fix it and, being allowed to have these ideas (unlike countries like North Korea, etc) is what makes THIS country GREAT!! Let's put hatred behind us, PLEASE!!!!!! The American people are wonderful people!!

[@vivianramage7361]

Still loving him! As a kid and now I'm 54!

[@bradleyearl8558]

Me too... I'm 47 and remember his songs playing on the juke box If you got ten minutes

[@flcracker3142]

This song reminds me of the America that I grew up in . I worry about my children and grandchildren on what America has become . Thank God they live in a little small town on The Suwannee river in North Florida where those values still exist. I know there's a lot of Good people in this country that feel the same as I do. We have to get our America back we are losing it fast . God-bless America

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading that video!! That is one of my all-time favorite songs. I do remember living up in New York State right across the Hudson River from West Point. I took a drive through West Point one time and that song came on the radio. Just as I passed a statue of a soldier I did not recognize, Moe Bandy sang that line "And high above a statue of an unknown soldier. Ol' Glory was wavin' in the air." I am not kidding!

we saw Moe a couple years ago he put on a GREAT show!!

[@eugenerobertson5221]

Only in this country could a wealthy man from New York understand the heart of America, as well as share its passions. Trump 2020.

[@savethebottle]

America is the land of opportunity and was made great by those who migrated here in hopes of a better life. No one should be better than anyone else. The wealthy man from New York mocks that principle and dashes the hopes of immigrants who come here seeking a better life. Trump 2020? NEVER!

One of his best songs, thanks

[@Choc576]

I truly hope that if we were to travel the "Blue Highways" of America today, this song would still be true.

Reminds me of growing up in the Appalachians of West Virginia. Sounds like driving through that little dot on the map called Liberty, WV.

[@larryalderman8919]

that's so cool, as one of the writers of this song, I can tell you, we based it on my Appalachian hometown of Mt. Airy NC.. Mayberry, when i was a kid, old men sat on benches and played checkers on main street ...

I recall seeing Moe and The Mavericks in San Antonio in the '70s before he made it to Nashville. He was just another local band as was George Strait also from the area.

[@norbie6]

This song sure brings back memories! Seems like yesterday.
