LOVE THIS SONG

YOUR A GREAT SINGER

[becandtrey]

aww I love this song

[brewcity59]

What year did this song come out? Anybody...

[johnnyjohn58]

brewcity59....the song came out in 1987

[iamteelynn]

I'm thinking about 1988

[dakyal]

My dad was a trucker for over 30ys. This song brings back alot of wonderful memories going on the road with him. In 2002 cancer took him off the road and eventually took his life in 2005.. I miss him everyday. for those who have never experienced a cross country ride in a truck or heard the sound of the (jake brake) you need to try it. It's the best

[123406az]

i agree it sound so good

[acorar]

i give this song to my dad god bless he's sole i miss him.

[carlislecrasher]

this song reminds me of my mom and step dad he was forced off the road because of heart probs and such and she never got tired of this song she had it on tape 4 the longest time. also thanks to you drivers out there from the pa timber rattler and his kin. stay safe and i ll catch ya on the radio sometime

[oz6881]

Great song. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[TheYellowTaxi]

great song, one of my favorites

[BamaRider]

I criss cross the country on my motorcycles, seeing new places and meeting people. I find a peacefulness on the road, I can't get anywhere else. I have a healthy respect for truckers and what they do. Most of them don't do the dumb stuff that can get us both killed. The soccer mom in the SUV is another story though. Like get off the PHONE aleady!

[Kokoots]

why do women need a f***ing huge 4x4 to get shopping and take the kids to school? Most of them can't handle them and always seem to be on the phone. And think it's ok to park in loading bays if they're only going to be 10 minutes. And when I turn up in the truck to deliver, I'm in their way!

[georgethe100]

30 yrs on the road in the the uk

love this song

[XxxSouthernBoiXxx]

Looove this classic song!!! AAHHH the memories!! :)

[CBear47]

Love this song. My Dad was named Charlie, and he bought a motorhome and got to take one vacation his whole life in it. That was about ten years before he died. He never did retire.

The video would've been better with a Peterbilt, though. :)

[WinifredCat]

Nothing short of one heck of a classic and she sings so beautifully!!!

[rebelman0]

hell ya it would

[rvrjr7]

love the song and video

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

kathy mattea makes the most amazing, soothing, and wonderful music that i have ever heard :)

[showmesue]

I love this song. My husband was killed in 1985 driving a semi. It was our dream to have a winnebago and set out to see america. But the dream died. Love to all you drivers out there. Be safe and be home.

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

seeing america can be a great way...im so sorry to hear about that.

[nmcityrocker]

Hello showmesue.... I'm just some anonymous guy posting on you tube, but I just wanted to say, in my own awkward way, that I hope you've been able to find happiness and joy in your life with the help and love of friends and family since that sad day for you so many years ago. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, nmcityrocker

[shaneraleigh]

Open roads and blue skies to all drivers out there.

[mervrun]

thank you for the song and the video!!!!!!

[Purplewhiteavia]

I would like to say Bless all you truckers out there and thank you for hauling our goods. You don't get a lot of praise and I think you should. I wish each and one of you a peacful blessing and I pray for you to make it home safe. God bless all of you!

[coffeeboyz04]

i am 27 years old and i am fighting demons i have been off the road for six months with a back injury and as much as i hate being gone from my wife and daughter i miss the road so bad it is as good as home for me i have called it home for 6 and a half years now and it is amazing coming east out of wyoming and watch the sun come up over the horizen after being submersed and darkness all night. Damn i got tears in my eye god speed to all truckers may you make it home to your families

[AJLJK]

that was a beautiful reply...thank you.

[coffeeboyz04]

i came back from the doctor on my back injury and he says i may never get to work again and that is a knife to my heart so if i don't get to drive again you drivers keep that shiny side up and roll on 18 wheeler 10-4

[THEBEASTOFOLD]

I feel your pain my friend. It's really hard to love one thing ( your family ) just as much as the ( the road ) other. I have been off the road for the past 5 years by choice.....and i miss it every dam day!!

[sdmomof3]

Hello from Sturgis South Dakota! I don't blame you for missing our sun rises. God Bless you and your wife for all your detication. My husband used to fight fires in NV for 7-9 months a year when our daughters were 1&3. He did 3 seasons. I know the heartache your wife feels when you're gone. My husband has worked locally now for almost 4 years so I feel lucky. I hope you make a full recovery and say a little prayer to keep you safe on your travels!

[TransamJc]

I have the best respect for truck drivers. Each day you spend Hours on end making sure that the things needed to keep the cosumers happy gets there. I am saying this because all truck drivers deserve better then the low rates that they are getting right now. some day that will happen when people see that when it comes down to without the truck driver there would be no homes or things to buy so i thank you for bringing what i need each day

[Unibodyguy]

I wish I had a chance to redo the Video with Kathy. The one thats out there is great, but I could think of some older background photos/scenes coming up through the years before he retires. I was brought with 2 sticks, no Jake, no power steering, and bias ply tires. Still get behind the wheel every chance I get.

[Twinhit]

Sittin' still long enough to catch up with myself is peace.

Speakin' of Petes, Nothin' like a Jimmy powered butterfly screamin through a 5 & 4.

Thanks for posting.

[heavyweighttrucker]

Blue skies and black tops are the only places that my soul finds piece.

[ilovedragons4ever]

i drive one OLD pete.very old pete.suprised it still runs.

[BigVideoFan88]

Thank you for the upload. I had seen a small portion of this video on a YouTube video of a TV commercial for WGAR 99.5 FM (in Cleveland, Ohio) and knew that I had not recognized the song. I just watched this and I think it's very nice.

[spoiledassqueen3]

my hats off to the truck drivers thank you

[ilovedragons4ever]

thank ya man.:)

[nighttrain1067]

I don't miss trucking for the most part.Every so often however,hearing songs like this,comes a flashback.A certain 379 Pete(LH),late at night,hammer down,somewhere west of Cheyenne. Am I waxing nostalgic?..Yup! xD

[peterbilt946]

you cant be a pete

[leecraig28]

i am a truckdrive this song fits me to the letter

[raulskigr5]

They could of used a brand new Peterbilt for this video. Instead, they used a real working truck to reflect a real working man.

[danielee427]

driver here, i can relate

[SpikesScarletWitch]

this song makes me cry every time i hear it. my dad was a trucker his entire life. and he did spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves. he passed away 5 yrs ago on jan 25. love the song and love dad. hope he's at peace.

[danielee427]

I  LOVE DIESEL SMOKE

[Kissfromcharity]

Why do you guys always CUT PEOPLE OFF?

LOL!

Just curious.

[668725]

no 4 day run means it takes 4 days to get there,then you get your next load on the qualcom, and you can be out for 3 weeks then reset hopefully near home.

hope your dad is well 10-4

[DRITZ57]

Hate this local S#$%, miss the open road, but the good think is the memory that goes with this song and the days of NO TRAFFIC.

Tonight I sit with my whiskey think of real driving and the smell of diesel at the truckstops in winter.----CHEERS

[danielee427]
