I get lonely and it helps to talk,

because that's about all I can do.

C

I'm crippled and I can't walk.

F

F

I came back and told him to

sometimes late at night

since my daddy's gone

as that little crippled boy talked with me.

C

I tried to swallow a lump,

Dad was going to take Mom

G

G

and me with him

later on this year,

C

C

while I remember him saying

And someday this old truck

will be yours, Teddy Bear.

But I know I'll never get to ride

F

in an 18 -wheeler again.

But this old bass will keep me in touch

with all my trucker friends.

C

and leave you alone,

because it's about time

C

for Mom to come home.

But you give me a shout

when you're passing through,

F

and I'll sure be happy to

come back to you.

C

Before you go, Ten -Ten,

little seedy friend?

As I rounded the corner,

C

oh, I got one heck of a shock.

Eighteen wheelers were lined up

for three city blocks.

I guess every driver for miles around

had got a teddy bear's call.

G

C

C

That little crippled boy was having a ball.

For as fast as one driver

would carry him in,

another would carry him to his truck

and take off again.

F

Well, you better believe

I took my turn in ridin' little teddy bear

C

C

And then I carried him back in

and put him down in his chair

G

G

View detailed G chord diagram in our app.

And buddy, if I never live

to see happiness again

I want you to know
