[@debbiewaters5153]

This is such a great song!! My husband drove over the road for about forty years and my son grew up hearing this song! Now my son who is forty is an over the road driver! Please keep him in your prayers!!!! He has a daughter now himself to go home to!

My dad drove a truck for 35 years and had a wreck in Decatur, TX and died in 1997. I too am a truck driver in Oklahoma. This song always brings tears

[@divindragon1302]

I've been trucking for 38 years. I've seen some pretty horrific wrecks out there. Thank you for supporting us, truckers. I pray every day for all my road warriors, brothers, and sisters to come home safe. We keep the country rolling. God bless us all.

You have to remember when this was recorded, there were no cell phones. That nightly phone call was so important to family's to hear from their loved ones.

[@PurpleRedbird02]

Love this! My wife drug me to an Alabama concert kicking and screaming in the early 90s. We've been about 6 times since then.

[@andymageen5308]

There were a LOT of great country acts in the Eighties, but Alabama were as big as they come with many crossover hits and a seeming constant presence on our TV sets. They weren’t just big, they were enormous ✌️

[@jamesarnoldsr2451]

Love love Alabama. They were one of my wife’s dad’s favorite bands. He passed away in 2020, and every time we hear one of their songs we can’t help but tear up. He was one of my best friends 😢

[@jamesarnoldsr2451]

My dad’s a trucker and we worry every time he goes out. Haven’t seen him in a year. That’s how’s long he’s been out on the road😢

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

My grandpa drove a truck for 40+ years. He’s gone now, but this song always brings up great memories for me. Check out “Teddy Bear”, which is without a doubt the greatest trucking song of all-time.

[@rogersullivan5351]

I've been doing this for 39 years and it still brings tears to my eyes, thanks for your support

[@jayritchie851]

Written by the great Dave Loggins who wrote and sang "Please Come to Boston." He also wrote other Alabama hits such as "40 Hour Week" and "She & I" along with hits by Wynonna, Kenny Rogers, 3 Dog Night, Restless Heart and Reba.

[@skinhitter27]

This is def one of the earlier songs I remember being aware of as a kid. Mom & I played this otw to school quite a bit. Try ALAMABA - 40 HOUR WEEK FOR A LIVIN!

I heard this a lot as a kid. My dad is a truck driver and this was basically the theme. Like with Amber's friend, my dad could be gone for weeks at a time. Occasionally even a month, driving all over the country and even into Canada a few times. He's run into all kinds of bad weather over the years from blizzards to floods. He's seen tornadoes and fires. Hats off and a big cheer for the truck drivers that keep this country rolling on!

[@m.harrison2151]

Check out Alabama’s “40 hour week”. Another good one among many!!

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Alabama is one of the best country groups in the industry. They had so many good songs & I wasn’t into country music at the time.👍👏👏👏💚💚

[@MithrilMagic]

My Dad drove truck for over 45 years. He passed away last year. I miss him so very much. On his prayer cards at this funeral we printed “Roll on highway, roll on along, roll on Daddy till ya get back home. Roll family, roll on crew, roll on Mama like I asked you to do…” He received the 1 million mile award with no accidents. He only had 3 years of retirement before suddenly passing away. He sacrificed so much of his time away from my brother and mom and I. But he always made up for it when he would come home. Sending all my love to all of our truckers and their families. It takes special people to drive and special families to keep things moving. ❤

[@clemsonchris89]

As a son of a trucker, all I can say is God bless this nation's truckers! Y'all keep this country running.

[@johnhann5659]

I'm glad y'all liked this sing. It was one of my favorites as a child because my dad was a truck driver. There are SO MANY great trucker songs out there to listen to. I think y'all would really enjoy the song "Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine. Please listen to it when you have a chance, it's a great song!

[@chriseradley6083]

Teddy Bear is one of my favourites and they would love it!

[@justwondering5651]

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Don't forget CW McCall, he had a bunch of great trucker songs. I think they did Convoy, but it wasn't the original. One of my favorites is Old Sloan

[@brickm]

My mama loved this song. Every time I hear, "But the man upstairs was listening" I hear my mama's voice, and I can see her pointing up to the sky. Her faith was strong. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@lunchboxradio5890]

47 years old, over 20 years behind this windshield, and over a million miles up down and all over this country. It's a rough life,and a tough job. But, I don't think I could've done it any other way. Thank you for your support. If you bought it, a truck brought it. To all my brothers and sisters out there, stay safe, Driver.

[@melindabaker710]

I'm from a trucking family, my dad drove until he couldn't and this song brings back memories... truckers deserve more respect than they are given ... trucking families are one of the strongest families next to military ones .... I think every trucking family has their own story like the one in this song .... thank you .....

[@SheliaWatson-pz3iz]

I drove a truck long haul around 23 years ago. My son was six years and stayed with my mom until I got home. He always sung this song except he’d say roll on mommy till you get back home. I called him every night to tell him I love him and momma said he would show her on a map where I was and where I’d be the next day. I love this song. Love y’all and keep safe

Daughter of a trucker, grew up singing this song! Now married to a truck driver(local thankfully but he hauls hazardous/flammable gases-so worry is still there) other great trucker songs- 18 wheels and a dozen roses and truck driver’s prayer… also always loved George Straight’s carrying your love with me

[@timz6nine]

We saw Alabama in Abilene TX in 1983, when they introduced this song. When he got to the line "the MAN upstairs was LISTENING..." Randy was pointing straight up and looking to the sky, and you could feel everybody collectively catching their breath, and when he sang "...and when the call came in, it was daddy on the other end..." the whole place ERUPTED in cheers and applause! It puts a lump in my throat, to this day....recalling that event!

My dad drove a truck for 46 years, including 15 years in the oil field. He started in 1954 when he was discharged from the army after serving 4 years, including 2 and 1/2 years in Korea where he received two purple hearts. I have even seen him drive with a cast on his right foot because of a broken ankle, but it never stopped him. He passed away in January of 2002, six weeks after his 70th birthday. I started driving 18-wheelers in 1987 when I turned 21. I have been out with a disease (necrotizing fascitis) since October 18, 2023, that almost killed me. Fortunately I am almost ready to go back out on the road. My younger sister started driving in January of 1997, and has been driving for 27 years, which is half her life, since she was born in January of 1970. My older brother has been driving since the summer of 1997, and is now 65. He has had two heart attacks, or what are called cardiac-related incidents, but still drives 3,500 to 4,000 miles a week. He had one heart attack while driving, but still managed to get the truck to a truck stop and safely parked before calling for an ambulance. Truck driving is something that gets in your blood, and some people are born to drive a truck. It literally runs in the family.

[@jasonsportsman9227]

My dad was a trucker. I remember 4-5 weeks every summer with him. This was my favorite song!!!!

[@MoMan.88]

I’m a over the road truck driver and this song has always been one of my favorites, but it really hits different now that I have a wife and 3 kids at home!!

Proud daughter of a truck driver. My parents ran as a team, and my sister and I were with them on the road. When my sister had to start school, our mom stayed home with us, and Dad kept trucking. He trucked for over 40 years, and he retired in his early 60s.

My dad has been a trucker most of my life, and this song has always been a trigger of anxiety for me! Not that i don't love it along with all those old trucker ballads u can only find on those old truck stop mixed tapes. But, I've always had the biggest worry my dad would die on the road, which he's still on. He's one of those old timers who will drive till he absolutely can't anymore.

Since I a kid and first started listening to music this song is one I have always remembered since way back then. Even before I even knew who Alabama was. I have always remembered and liked this song. It will forever be part of me and my childhood. Roll on Alabama and roll on RSR! With that being said, next Alabama song you must get around to is Feels So Right. It’s a must for a real love song.

Thanks for this one! Would love to see you react to some of their country pop power ballad hits, “Feels So Right”, “Lady Down On Love, “Take Me Down”, “When We Make Love”, “There’s No Way”, “If I Had You” and “Deep River Woman” duet with Lionel Richie

This song has been very special to my best friend because her Dad was a trucker. Even more so since he passed.

If you go down the rabbit hole of "trucker songs", all roads eventually lead to Red Sovine; who owned the genre; with such songs as "Phantom 309", "Teddy Bear" and "Giddy-Up-Go"

[@jdwoods2008]

I love the way she said "I was having such a good time". Being from Alabama, I grew up hearing this band. Being from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, I knew some of the songwriters and folks associated with the band. My first music festival was their "June Jam" in Ft. Paine, AL. Super fun for a young teenager to attend this with family. An aside, we're 4 or 5 days into the fallout of an ice storm here, and a lot of our grocery stores are empty of fresh food, along with many of our restaurants due to the trucks not making it in yet. A suggestion for a future video that'll get you hooked going down a rabbit hole for sure. Check out "40 Hour Week" by the band Alabama. It's also about trucking, and was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, which was once labelled "the hit recording capital of the world". Some of highlights of other bands and artists who recorded in Muscle Shoals (included some you've reacted to: Paul Simon Rolling Stones Etta James Aretha Franklin Patti LaBelle Percy Sledge (When a man love a woman) Wilson Pickett Bob Dylan Bob Segar The Staples Singers Willie Nelson The Civil Wars Traffic Elton John Julian Lennon Grenn Frey (The Eagles) The Black Keys Chris Stapleton Rod Stewart Lynyrd Skynyrd Cat Stevens George Michael's Careless Whisper Cher Joe Cocker Linda Ronstadt Candi Staton Levon Helm (the Band) Dire Straits Eddie Rabbit Jimmy Buffet James Brown John Prine The Oak Ridge Boys Eric Clapton Forester Sisters Alabama* Ronnie Milsap Johnny Paycheck Sawyer Brown The Osborns (including One Bad Apple Don't Spoil the Whole Bunch) Widespread Panic Melissa Etheridge Gregg Allman and Duane Allman and hundreds more...

2 classic trucking songs are “Phantom 309” and “Teddy Bear” from Red Sovine. “Looking at the World Through a Windshield” and “Six Days on the Road” are also some outstanding trucking anthems!

[@williamstreet4304]

I feel for the truckers who are away so long. Years ago when my children were young, my company decided that I was the one who fixed problems. Along with that came the fact that problems weren't at home. I was gone all week about 40 weeks a year. One Monday, I was staying home that week. So I was a bit later leaving the house. My 3-year-old daughter was awake as I walked down the hall carrying a suitcase that needed repair. She screamed, "NO! Daddy, don't leave me again!" and sat on my foot as she clutched my calf. I thought, I've gotta get a new job. And I did. Maybe you can't. OTR truckers, I know that it's hard being away from family. Thank you. Even more, thank you to the wives/husbands, children, friends, and family who stand behind you.

trucking isint so much like this anymore. but we do provide. i grew up on alabama music and drive "18wheeler" 6 years now, but technology has made it so different. so this song is a magnificent artifact. i got to see alabama live in huntsville this year and was amazing. as old as they are, they still get the crowd to play along. i send this from my truck... leaving colorado. bringing cattle feed to alabama. the world goes round. its all a song goes round and round.
