  • You really do become a prisoner and even after retirement you never completely lose the need to get out and see the country. You've just gotta do it.

  • who the hell wrote this?

  • @biolover612 Mike Reid. He wrote a lot of songs for Ronnie back in the '80's.

  • A great video for a great song. Thanks for sharing.

  • Lot Lizard? What you have your markers on? (parking lights for you 4 wheelers)

    This song got me through alot of "tough nights" 25 years ago, still is great.

  • @ZRT1000stroker my step mother used to ride with my dad, before he died. the lot lizards would come right up to the truck, even with her there and offer their services. bold as heck, kinda sad too.

  • Great video

  • My uncle Wally drove for fifty years and he's now semi-retired at 71. Instead of doing long-haul he does one route. I always think of him when I hear this song, because we would talk about a place on the map and he would be like, "Oh yeah, I know all about that place..."

    Sailor On A Concrete Sea

    Well my ocean is four lanes wide,my waves are mountain high,I sail a 20-ton schooner with the will of do or die,and my cargo must go through,to the port that waits for me,I live on luck,for I drive a truck,I'm a sailor on a concrete sea,So here's to the unsung hero's,though they dont make history,from coast to coast,let's drink a toast,to the sailor on a concrete sea.

  • Great work,well done!!!!!! I'd ride shotgun with you anytime!!!!! Would love to see the beauty of the USA the way you do from inside an 18-wheeler.

    Keep on trucking and be safe out there

  • Loved it, keep the left door closed and don't let the BS with dispatchers and the stupid things I'm sure you've had plenty of 4wheelers do in front of your rig drive u so ape that you have to get away. I did and am now stuck working a de job that pays just above minimum. Oh well I guess we live and learn.

  • Ironic that Ronnie chose to record this Mike Reid song, since he's blind, and can't drive, right, gang? God bless!

  • Like it!! Good Job!! Been in those old mines to pick up for Fitch and Something, have to dig the bills out to get the name right, but somewhere around i Mo.

    The only thing is, do you drive Marten, or Southern RT?

  • I Loved this Song and listened to it many Days and Night when I Drove over the Road. I would be Driving home when I would put it on because My Home Was WHEELING W.V. I have been Driving for 26 years and still working for the Company I always Dreamed of Driving for and the Company My Dad Retired from Central Transport ! Roll on Central !

  • After 21 years and 2 1/2 million miles I was off duty when someone caught me off guard and broadsided me in my brand new car. It fractured my spine and my pelvis the DOT would not let me drive without surgery, I said surgery is only an option when it is the only option. I have been off the road for 10 years now, and still miss it with all my heart.

  • great video! my husband feels the same way about being on the road-while not a truck driver, he says driving is his passion and there is not enough road to fulfill it...

  • My momma is a TRUCK DRIVER. Ive ridden with her drove when she got tired and navigated with our map not a GPS. I did the loads for her when she couldn't. I have seen many of these locations and I have heard this song. But in all my times of both it never made me feel the way this one does. You sum it up girl. Hell yea damn four wheelers get of the road we got places to go and things to deliver here so your world can run the way it does. Move Wooo Woooo Wooooo

  • @Truckingirl79 When I was a Sr. in high school this was one of my favorite Ronnie Milsap songs and I was trying to find it on youtube when I stumbled across your video...I play guitar and keyboards so I sat down and worked it out on my Roland keyboard.....I can play it now all the way through. Thanks for posting this....good video also...."imprisoned by the freedom of the road"....truly, manofreedom

  • Recently retired Trucker here. 25 years long haul, by choice. Put 2 babies thru college and lost 2 women in the process. But i watch a wonderful country pass in front of my eyes. We were concrete cowboys and knights of the road. Now???? Hell things change huh? Da Original "Boogieman"

  • Very cool. Great song and photos! As they said in Smokey and the Bandit: "Keep the bugs off your glass and the Smokies off your...backside". Drive safe!

  • wow love this song and pics

  • my daddy was a trucker for almost 40 years. he actually died on a run. he was with a buddy, and while the other guy went to sign the manifest, my dad dropped dead of a massive heart attack. they had just made it into west virginia from ohio, and i guess they stopped at the weigh station. anyway, he was dead before he hit the ground. at least he died doing what he liked. rip.

  • Great video. I drove OTR for 14 yrs, had to get out of it because of a heart attack, and bad diebeties. I really miss trucking and the trucking life. I gave up a Deputy Sheriff badge to drive. It was a very good decision. You guys keep rollin' for those you can't, but still have the desire.

  • @cowboy24321 Well said cowboy diabeties also took me off the road and i miss it bad

  • @cowboy24321 how encouraging.thanx neighbor.get well and praise the lord(JESUS)

  • Was "doing it" as an O/O when this song was made. '78 Freightliner all over the lower USA. Late night/ early morning memories I will never forget.

  • As you can see, these truckers are going to start passing, paying their respects to their lost comrade, the Rubber Duck, in their Macks, their Jimmies, K-Whoppers, Fruitliners, garbage trucks, dump trucks and even limousines... Truckers all! From the covered wagons and trains to the 18-wheelers that keep this country alive!
