anyone know?

I'm looking for the name and singer of a song, it was musical with a spoken voice that listed the trucking companys here in the us some which no longer are in business ..I heard it once and never caught the name or artist.. the voice was either johnny cash or someone with the same rough tone to their voice...would appreciate it if

you were able to help..... thank you.........

Update:

oddly enough it was like someone reading the business section under trucking companies in a phone book..it was the listing of the companies that i found interesting and the number of them that are now gone.. I've onlt heard it 1 time ..its an older one

    Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck. You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon. Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy…

    Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June

    In a Kenworth pullin' logs

    Cab-over Pete with a reefer on

    And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

    We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh

    'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town

    I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.

    "And I'm about to put the hammer down."

    [Chorus]

    'Cause we got a little convoy

    Rockin' through the night.

    Yeah, we got a little convoy,

    Ain't she a beautiful sight?

    Come on and join our convoy

    Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

    We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

    'Cross the U-S-A.

    Convoy!

    [On the CB]

    Ah, breaker, Pig Pen, this here's the Duck. And, you wanna back off them hogs? Yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. Ten, roger. Them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here.

    By the time we got into Tulsa Town,

    We had eighty-five trucks in all.

    But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,

    And them bears was wall-to-wall.

    Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;

    They even had a bear in the air!

    I says, "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.

    "We about to go a-huntin' bear."

    [Chorus]

    'Cause we got a great big convoy

    Rockin' through the night.

    Yeah, we got a great big convoy,

    Ain't she a beautiful sight?

    Come on and join our convoy

    Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

    We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

    'Cross the U-S-A.

    Convoy!

    [On the CB]

    Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Pig Pen? Negatory, Pig Pen; you're still too close. Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten.

    Well, we rolled up Interstate 44

    Like a rocket sled on rails.

    We tore up all of our swindle sheets,

    And left 'em settin' on the scales.

    By the time we hit that Chi-town,

    Them bears was a-gettin' smart:

    They'd brought up some reinforcements

    From the Illinoise National Guard.

    There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,

    And rigs of ev'ry size.

    Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears

    And choppers filled the skies.

    Well, we shot the line and we went for broke

    With a thousand screamin' trucks

    An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus

    In a chartreuse micra-bus.

    [On the CB]

    Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen, you wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.

    Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore

    And prepared to cross the line

    I could see the bridge was lined with bears

    But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.

    I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.

    "We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."

    So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight

    I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."

    [Chorus]

    'Cause we got a mighty convoy

    Rockin' through the night.

    Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,

    Ain't she a beautiful sight?

    Come on and join our convoy

    Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.

    We gonna roll this truckin' convoy

    'Cross the U-S-A.

    Convoy! Ah, 10-4, Pig Pen, what's your twenty?

    Convoy! OMAHA? Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure. Well, mercy

    Convoy! sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your…

    Convoy! tail. We'll catch you on the flip-flop. This here's the Rubber Duck on the side.

    Convoy! We gone. 'Bye,'bye.

    Probably not the song you're looking for, but here's a great trucker song from C.W. McCall. "Convoy" What a classic.

    I'm not sure what the name of the song is, but I think Alabama might sing it.
