Verse 1
(C major) I was (G major) (C major)
on the outskirts of
a little southern town,
trying to reach my destination
(F major) before the sun went down.
The old CD was blared away (C major)
on Channel 1 -9
when there came a little boy's voice
on the radio (G major) line.
he said breaker one night is anyone
there come (C major) on back truckers
and talk to teddy bear well
I (F major) keep the mic and I said
you got it teddy bear
and (C major) the little boys voices
came back on the (G major) air
appreciate the (C major) break who we got on that end
I told (G major) him my hand (C major) ling
and he began now
I'm not supposed to bother
(F major) you fellas out there.
Mom says you're busy
for me to stay off (C major) the air.
But you see,
I get lonely and it (G major) helps to talk,
because that's about all I can do.
I'm (C major) crippled and I can't walk.
I came back (F major) and told him to
fire up that mic
and I'd talk to him as long as he liked. (C major)
This is my daddy's radi (G major) o,
the little boy said,
but (C major) I guess it's mine and mom's (G major) now
be (C major) cause my daddy's dead. (G major) (C major)
Dad had a wreck about a month ago.
He (F major) was trying to get home
in the blinding snow.
Mo (C major) m has to work now
and make ends meet.
I'm not much help
(G major) with my two crippled feet.
She says not to worry,
we'll (C major) make it all right.
But I hear her crying
sometimes late (F major) at night
you know there's (C major) one thing
I want more than anything (G major) else to see
an (C major) d no you you guys are too busy
to bother with me
but you see my dad
he used to take me for rides
when he was home (F major)
I guess that's all over now
since my daddy's (C major) gone (G major)
(C major) Not one breaker came on the old CB
(G major) as that little crippled boy talked with me.
I (C major) tried to swallow a lump,
but it just wouldn't stay down,
(F major) as I thought about my boy
back in Greenville town.
(C major) Dad was going to take Mom
and me with (G major) him
later on this year,
while (C major) I remember him saying
And someday this old truck
will be yours, Teddy Bear.
But I know I'll never get to ride
in an 18 -wheel (F major) er again.
But this old bass will keep me in touch
with all (C major) my trucker friends. (G major)
(C major) Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now
(G major) and leave you alone,
because it's about time
for Mom to come home. (C major)
But you give me a shout
when you're passing through,
and I'll (F major) sure be happy to
come back to you.
Well, I came back (C major) and said,
Before you go, Ten -Ten,
(G major) what's your home twenty,
little seedy friend? (C major)
Well, he gave me his address.
I (G major) didn't once hes (C major) itate,
Cause this old hot load of freight
is just gonna have to (F major) wait.
I turned that old truck around on a dime,
And headed (C major) straight for Jackson Street,
229.
As I roun (G major) ded the corner,
oh, I got one heck of a shock. (C major)
Eighteen wheelers were lined up
for three city blocks. (F major)
I guess every driver for miles around
had got a teddy bear's (C major) call.
That little (G major) crippled boy was having a ball. (C major)
For as fast as one driver
would carry him in,
another would carry him to his truck
and take off again.
Well, (F major) you better believe
I took my turn in ridin' little teddy bear
And then (C major) I carried him back in
and put him down in his chair
And (G major) buddy, if I never live
to see happiness again
I want you to know
I (C major) saw it that day
in the face of that little man
(F major) We took a collection (C major) for him
(F major) before his mama got home
(C major) Each driver said goodbye, (G major)
then they were gone (C major)
He shook my hand with a mile -long grin
and said,
So long, trucker.
I'll catch you again. (F major)
Well, I hit that interstate
with tears in my eyes.
(C major) I (G major) turned on the radi (C major) o
and I got another (G major) surprise.
Breaker 09 came a voice on the air. (C major)
Just one word of thanks
from Mama Teddy Bear.
We (F major) wish each and every one
a special prayer for you
Cause (C major) you just made my little
boy's (G major) dream come true (C major)
I'll (G major) sign off now (C major) before I start (G major) to cry (C major)
May God ride with (G major) you 10 -4 (C major)
And goodbye
Teddy Bear
