Default On The Road Again


IMG_7953_TN


IMG_7954_TN

On the road again -
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again

Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again

And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again -
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way

And our way
is on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again

Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends

Insisting that the world keep turning our way

And our way
is on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

Hehe! Cool shots Duane! Could almost be the same truck. Cracking scenery that you've captured as always. Love the hay bales in the foreground.

for bands, this may be true...but for everyday truckers, it is a rough life....I have met quite a few come through my loading docks......These scenes evoke several memories of moving back and forth across the country. I am always amazed at how large our country is and how much open space there still is

Duane, I love this shot. Americana at its best. Wide open spaces of Big Sky country and a truck to see it all with.

Two great shots depicting part of what built America. Truckers are a special breed and often portrayed in song as with Willie (and Waylon, and Charlie(Pride that is)). These trucks look gigantic Duane and well displayed in one of their natural environments. Another thing, don't know about US but over here they just love bikers and vice-versa. PAUL
