  • For those who don't know, a Georgia Overdrive is a downhill section of freeway. Old day truckers would only have a high gear that would only let them go so fast without over-reving their engine, but if they had a downhill they would put the truck in neutral and let themselves fly.

  • This is great classic country music, Dave Dudley was a great truck driver singer, along with Red Sovine, and others. Great music...

  • Ahhh, the days of legal, pharma-grade speed. Another way soccer-moms and right wing nannies have destroyed this country.

  • @81broncoman I remember those days all to well. O'l freight shaker with 250 cummins and yes a 10 speed fuller trans. The trailers were outside braced and if wind caught that you were going no where fast.

  • maybe it 1:02 into the song. . .but no doubt it's fart

  • Is that a fart at 1:03 into the song

  • Yep.... there was no cbs then...or even tapes ...just AM and maybe FM playing country and once in a while Dave Dudley. I sure miss them ol trips down the ratty high way in that ol shake an bake screamin jimmy........all I got now is some young chippy nurse trying to give me a sponge bath in my damn wheel chair...................at the ol age home....get yer dam hands off my pecker there .............

  • Yeahhh, or a 1954 GMC stub nose N54 series with a 671 jimmy 10 speed, dual straight stacks, no mufflers and a big oil cooler on one side and a big air breather on the other side just a screaming and roaring and pouring black smoke till you whacked her down a notch. A broomstick stuck between the seat and the gas pedal for 'cruise control'....pulling a Sea Land silver box or an Akers/McLean container to the next port to 'make the ship' for bonus pay. Screw the statees, the feds and the locals.

  • @supr75 the truck i always i pictured in this song,was a late 1950s DiamondT,with a 220 cummins with a 6" straight pipe and a 10 speed road ranger,pulling a Trailmobile dry van,

  • Anybody remember a song from the mid 70's with the line "ha ha ha ridin' down the superhighway"?

  • Looking for someone with guitar-pickin' skills to teach me this song. The studio version has an electric and acoustic guitar part; looking for help with both!

  • wanted to share this to Facebook but window doesn't open
