Wayne’s gritty voice and lot of times shocking lyrics had gained him great popularity and a cult followers. He has recorded lots of trucking-related songs and it’s known for his allegiance with truckers.
Conclusion
As you can see there are dozens of great trucking songs. Actually there are literally hundreds of them! It would be next to impossible to list everyone, and to be honest, to even harder to really pick the best song. So here I listed some what I really like, and got some input from a few people who enjoy trucking songs.
Just like trucking movies have a niche all their own, so does trucking songs do. But unlike the movies you can find people from all walks of life who have heard some of these. (Secretly they actually enjoy them.) These are the songs that people often don’t know where they came from, or what they originally were referring to, but somehow are so appropriate to life.
Trucking songs have a life all their own. They tell a story about a way of life that few will ever understand. Most people take truckers and the entire industry for granted. Going about their day to day activities without understanding how things get to the store or anything important like that. All they know is that it was a trucker who was driving too slowly in the fast lane. That’s what is hard about being a trucker, the lack of understanding, but what is so great about the trucking songs.
