I was on the outskirts of a little southern town

Tryin' to reach my destination before the sun went down

The old CB was blarin' away on channel 1-9!

When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line

And he said: "Breaker 1-9! Is anyone there?

Come on back, truckers and talk to Teddy Bear!"

Well, I keyed the mike and said: "You got it, Teddy Bear!"

And a little boy's voice came back on the air

"'Preciate the break, Who we got on that end?"

I told him my handle, and, then he began:

"Now, I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there

Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air

But you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk

'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled, and, I can't walk!"

I came back and told him to fire up that mike

And I'd talk to 'im, as long as he liked

"This was my dad's radio", the little boy said

"But I guess it's mine and mom's now, 'cause my daddy's dead!"

"Dad had a wreck about a month ago

He was trying to get home in a blindin' snow

Mom has to work now, to make ends meet

And I'm not much help, with my two crippled feet!"

"She says not to worry that we'll make it alright

But, I hear her crying, sometimes late at night

You know there's just one thing I want more than anything else to see

Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me!"

"But, you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home
