  One of the most forgotten trucker songs is Michael Dinner's "Yellow Rose Express."

  there are some great australian truck driving songs,one of the best is "lights on the hill" by Slim Dusty.The original version of "ive been everywhere" was by an aussie called Lucky Star & featured all australian towns,this version actually reached no.1 on our pop charts of the day (late sixties i think).

  Can't remember the artist but there was a song that started out "Hello, I'm A Truck". I havn't heard it in 14 years and if someone could find it - Well, it's funny.

  You should Google a band from Canada called THE ROADHAMMERS - made a whole album of high octane trucking songs a couple of years ago. It features Canadian country star Jason McCoy showing his rockin' side along with Clayton Bellamy, who opened for Dwight Yoakam a few times last year.

  There Ain't Nothing Wrong with the Radio

  (Not exactly a big rig song, but great truck song, nonetheless.)

  Does anyone on here know of a collection of trucking songs that was written and performed by real truckers themselves? My husband had a tape of these songs years ago and he loved it. Wore it out to where he couldn't read the writing on it anymore. I would love to find that, somehow, for him.

  Willin was done by Lowell George/Little Feat not Commander Cody.
  
  New Riders of the Purple Sage - Henry is a good truckin song even though Henry is truckin some illegal cargo that he samples on those mountain roads.
  
  Also Big Wheels by the New Riders.
  
  New Riders also do a sick version of Truck Driving Man & six Days on the Road.
  
  If you are a Trucker one song you don't want to hear is Fifteen Days under the Hood.- Which they cook on as well!!!
