[OldHippieMatt]

Saw JJW first in 72 at Santa Fe amphitheater with Lost Gonzo band,,and 2 dozen shows since..Jerry Jeff presents his music to us with unabashed feeling...he's Layin his Life on the Line..of all the genre of music from Floyd to Skynyrd I can most relate to Scamp Walker..he has influenced my life in a very positive way...so here's to the King of Texas music!! Cheers JJ !!

[gordywulf]

Wow I love this song! Got to watch him perform it at the RedAnts Pants festival.

[LilJoyFl]

If you're ever in Luckenbach, on youre way out look for Hondo's green pickup parked at the house on youre right. Its a beautiful piece of history. I love Jerry Jeff!

[texaswader]

If you haven't gone to his Birthday Bash in Austin at the Paramount, Driskill Hotel and Gruen Hall try to make it before he gets too old to keep on doing it. Good times.

[colindominy]

Jerry Jeff is one of the best talents ever to grace the halls of the musical genres of country-rock / gonzo / modern honky tonk blues. I'll never get tired of listening to his wonderful various styles & so, so many catchy, appealing melodies + lyrics. He loves his music so, so much, too .. with something far greater than a mere 'passion' - I think that's one of the secrets of every major big-league stand-out talent that's ever been mega-popular in the world of contemporary music since 1955.

I've had and loved this cd for years. Please tell me this is from a DVD that is still available somewhere.

[FarmallDoctor]

still driving my old '79 Chev... new trucks just don't feel the same. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who likes to cruise on a moonit night with the lights off! Thanks, Jerry

[peachpapoose]

Reminds me of many Patrick McManus stories!

[SallySatisfied]

I loved my truck too. I wish I still had it. Roll on, you beautiful 56 Chevy Apache.

[bigroy38]

I love this song. My two kids love doing this, we ride around in the pick up struck from Luckenback and Sister Dale. Too much fun, seen JJW and the Gonzo Compadraes for years, years, I was 13 the first time I, and 51 last! Tried and True! Got married in Belize! True fan, Im the fan that sings along with every song, in the wrong note! Opera House in Galveston to most of our famous ball rooms around Texa! I take my hat off to Scamp!! Keep on keeping on! Life is Good!

[jem3398]

My grandpa had a big ol' light blue Dodge pick-up that we rode around in...including trips to the county dump. Then stop for a "frosty" (soft serve ice cream) on the way back to his house. Miss my grandpa ("Pops") and that ol' truck. Love this song!

[ImpulseMan76]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!

[dallas9596]

Used to jerry riding around Austin Tx in a silver cad covertiable mid 70s

[gary4498]

When I was about 13 I saved money to by my first album and it was Kiss alive! the first one. Next album I saved up for was J.J.W "Its a Good night for Singing". I loved them bothe.

[jefflhead]

Love this song. Jerry Jeff's Music has been some of my favorites for years and years (ie. Charlie Dunn, Cowboy's Lament, etc.) I created a video of my pickup with my kids and particularly my grandkids set to this song. Search "PapasPickupTruck".

[tripleJish]

No a truck is a red neck castle...

[savagechevyman]

a truck is a man's castle!

[nsra1933]

This is such a nice song. Brings back memories of simpler times with family. Today all we got is bickering politicians trying to run this country into the dirt for their own self preservation.

[NHindividualist]

I've coasted along by the moonlight... I've also hit the wooden bridge over the little creek, where everyone except the newbie knew to clamp a thumb over their beer to avoid the eruption.

[rithas777]

Great tune, it nevers fails to put a smile on my face irrespective of how bad a day i`m having. JJW rocks!!!

[kurtdyoung]

Holy. Shit. I heard this song about 1000 times as a kid, it was my favorite.

[designermite]

Most important thing added to my truck..fuzzy dice...just keep truckin on...got my truck

[jlint3024]

Makes me wish I had a truck...

[NorOnt18]

ALRIGHT!!!!!

[EddieErwinEngines48]

I got an old green GMC truck that looks like someone beat all to hell with a tire iron LOL.....

[oldtown3]

He sure knows how to sing a story!

[trn1957]

1978 My bride to be and I were in Chicago and saw a marquee that said JJ Walker tonight. We bought tickets and showed up at show time.

When we got there the line did not look like your typical C&W fans but we decided to make the best of it. The JJ Walker fans were not very nice to us and we had to leave. We tried!

[tracytcole]

long time JJW fan, I'm from KY not TX but the lyrics still apply where I come from. I have always owned a pickup truck since I have been old enough to drive but this song especially reminds me of my teenage years riding around the backroads of Madison County with my friends. The only rule was "gas, grass, beer or ass, no one rides free" Good memories.

[doughesson]

@tracytcole Next time you go to Paducah,check out the Outlaw Hours on WKYQ 93.3 on Friday and Saturday after 11 and 10 pm.They never miss playing this. You don't get dedicated music hours like this in Memphis.

[TheMostRevCharlieT]

Gruene Hall alright - saw Jackie Jack perform his Christmas show in 1997 - great time - you have to walk by the stage left to get to the men's head. Great time every time I've been there!

[bruceok]

If it's "the oldest dance hall in Texas" as the notes above say, it would be Gruene, Texas. But I won't argue if it's Luckenbach -- if they also claim to have the oldest dance hall in Texas. There's probably several "oldest dance halls in Texas."

[PMantle]

That's the version from "Live at Gruene Hall". I have it.

[hanleyfallsmn56245]

JJW 4 President.

[blueskiesblue]

Political Question of the day: Ummm, let me see ..... Q: "If you could go into a bar ... and have a beer with John McCain or Barack Obama ... which one would you pick?"

A: "Neither ... It'd be JERRY JEFF WALKER!!!! "

No Contest!

[coleyman1]

What a question! Why would you even ask?? Texas forever!!!

[joanne1031]

this song brings back so many memories for me..,. thanks for sharing

[alabamaguitarguy]

ahhh. the video to go with the live album. Awesome!

[bruceok]

This would be the dance hall in Gruene, Texas. Thanks for posting.

[Dave9309]

looks like luckenbach to me...

[jballard459]

this is the BEST truck song by a non-Texan...we all have memories like that I hope. "Going for the world's record?" Beer cans, skoal cans, empty cigarette packs, and love of life...sadly missing these days.

[thessalonician]

I love this song since now...

[dillondude9]

i use to lishen to this all the time with ym dad in his truck (cry)

[thessalonician]

Sweet memories ha.. :)

[jhofmann33]

I remember listening to Jerry Jeff cassettes in my Dad's old Chevy truck; more than a few moons ago, more than a few. Thank you for posting and thank you to Jerry Jeff for all the good memories.

[Scubas72]

having a truck, this song makes me smile

[slammer8232]

Jerry Jeff Walker brings a smile to my face and makes my beer taste better.

[dmckeonmail]

That may be the best comment ever. I hope people feel that way when I play.

[JDoubleOP]

@slammer8232 That's what it's all about :) 5*

[Bound4NH]

From the liner notes: "I lied. I don't have a pickup truck. I only wish I did."

'Sokay, Jackie Jack. You got the emotion right. :-)

[fox579]

Impossible to listen to this song without a smile on my face

[LFfiredeptgirl]
