Teddy Bear Red Sovine

[Verse 1]
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Trying to reach my destination before the sun went down
The old CB was blaring away on Channel 1-9
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line

[Verse 2]
And he said, "Breaker 1-9, is anyone there?
Come on back truckers and talk to Teddy Bear"
Well I keyed the mic and I said, "You got it, Teddy Bear"
And the little boy's voice came back on the air

[Verse 3]
"Appreciate the break who we got on that end"
I told him my handle and then he began
"Though 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 mic
And I'd talk to him as long as he'd liked

[Verse 4]
"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 blinding 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 one thing I want more than anything else to see
Oh, 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
But I guess that's all over now since my daddy's gone
