    I've been trucking for 38 years. I've seen some pretty horrific wrecks out there. Thank you for supporting us, truckers. I pray every day for all my road warriors, brothers, and sisters to come home safe. We keep the country rolling. God bless us all.

    Love love Alabama. They were one of my wife’s dad’s favorite bands. He passed away in 2020, and every time we hear one of their songs we can’t help but tear up. He was one of my best friends 😢

    There were a LOT of great country acts in the Eighties, but Alabama were as big as they come with many crossover hits and a seeming constant presence on our TV sets. They weren’t just big, they were enormous ✌️

    My grandpa drove a truck for 40+ years. He’s gone now, but this song always brings up great memories for me.
    Check out “Teddy Bear”, which is without a doubt the greatest trucking song of all-time.

    @skinhitter27 Před 6 měsíci +12

    @brickm Před 6 měsíci +6

    My mama loved this song. Every time I hear, "But the man upstairs was listening" I hear my mama's voice, and I can see her pointing up to the sky. Her faith was strong. Thanks for another great reaction!

  • @jayritchie851
    @jayritchie851 Před 6 měsíci +5

    Written by the great Dave Loggins who wrote and sang "Please Come to Boston." He also wrote other Alabama hits such as "40 Hour Week" and "She & I" along with hits by Wynonna, Kenny Rogers, 3 Dog Night, Restless Heart and Reba.

  • @kathyrizzi8754

    Alabama is one of the best country groups in the industry. They had so many good songs & I wasn’t into country music at the time.👍👏👏👏💚💚

  • @kimwilkins1500
    @kimwilkins1500 Před 5 měsíci

    My husband drove a truck for 44 years before retiring in 2020 and we had a set evening for him to stop at a pay phone to check in. We had 4 little ones and this was our theme song for many years.
    Thank you for the shoutout to truckers, they are an unappreciated group but the US would not be able to function without them!
    You made me smile 😊 with this one!
    Love you guys! Roll on!

    I'm glad y'all liked this sing. It was one of my favorites as a child because my dad was a truck driver. There are SO MANY great trucker songs out there to listen to. I think y'all would really enjoy the song "Teddy Bear" by Red Sovine. Please listen to it when you have a chance, it's a great song!

    • @chriseradley6083

  • @jeremyglenn9288
    @jeremyglenn9288 Před 5 měsíci +1

    My grandfather was a truck driver. He had over 4 million miles w/out an accident when he retired. When I was little, this was mine & his song. He passed away in 2016 and we had this played at his funeral. Y’all got this old man up in his feels today. Love you guys!

    I'm from a trucking family, my dad drove until he couldn't and this song brings back memories... truckers deserve more respect than they are given ... trucking families are one of the strongest families next to military ones .... I think every trucking family has their own story like the one in this song .... thank you .....

  • @user-pq9zc3uc7m
    @user-pq9zc3uc7m Před 6 měsíci +11

  • @sedatedape315
    @sedatedape315 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Oh yeah! I remember Dino here in the comments. What a sweet and wholesome person!!!
    As you've seen already, Alabama owned the 80s with crossover hits (Country/Pop/Rock) Ll over TV and radio.
    I remember this song but it didn't get a huge a!iunt of playtime. Too many other Alabama hits already getting air time.

  • @chrissmitha3668
    @chrissmitha3668 Před 6 měsíci +3

    40 Hour Week by Alabama is my favorite song ever. It’s a testament to the working man.

  • @jasonsportsman9227
    @jasonsportsman9227 Před 6 měsíci

    My dad was a trucker. I remember 4-5 weeks every summer with him. This was my favorite song!!!!

  • @altashheth451
    @altashheth451 Před 5 měsíci

    I heard this a lot as a kid. My dad is a truck driver and this was basically the theme. Like with Amber's friend, my dad could be gone for weeks at a time. Occasionally even a month, driving all over the country and even into Canada a few times. He's run into all kinds of bad weather over the years from blizzards to floods. He's seen tornadoes and fires.
    Hats off and a big cheer for the truck drivers that keep this country rolling on!

  • @lunchboxradio5890
    @lunchboxradio5890 Před 6 měsíci +2

    47 years old, over 20 years behind this windshield, and over a million miles up down and all over this country. It's a rough life,and a tough job. But, I don't think I could've done it any other way. Thank you for your support. If you bought it, a truck brought it. To all my brothers and sisters out there, stay safe, Driver.

  • @timz6nine
    @timz6nine Před 6 měsíci

    We saw Alabama in Abilene TX in 1983, when they introduced this song. When he got to the line "the MAN upstairs was LISTENING..." Randy was pointing straight up and looking to the sky, and you could feel everybody collectively catching their breath, and when he sang "...and when the call came in, it was daddy on the other end..." the whole place ERUPTED in cheers and applause! It puts a lump in my throat, to this day....recalling that event!

  • @michellejackson6679

    Daughter of a trucker, grew up singing this song! Now married to a truck driver(local thankfully but he hauls hazardous/flammable gases-so worry is still there) other great trucker songs- 18 wheels and a dozen roses and truck driver’s prayer… also always loved George Straight’s carrying your love with me

    This has to be one of my 100 top Country songs of all time it’s an absolute Banger 👌👌👌❤️❤️ And it’s an emotional song too about a trucker being on the road missing his family the song is beautiful the way it explains and expresses that 👌

    I had a great uncle and an uncle who were long haul truckers, thank God nothing ever happened to them, but this song has always held a special place in my heart and as much as I would love to sing along, I cannot get through it without tears in my eyes. Absolutely love Alabama!

    Proud daughter of a truck driver. My parents ran as a team, and my sister and I were with them on the road. When my sister had to start school, our mom stayed home with us, and Dad kept trucking. He trucked for over 40 years, and he retired in his early 60s.

  • @robertholmes1743
    @robertholmes1743 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great song. Always loved Alabama. Now you need to check out another song paying tribute to long haul truck drivers. It’s “Driving Wheels” by Jimmy Barnes, another great Australian singer with a fantastic voice that I’m sure you’ll absolutely love!

I turned on CZcams this morning and this video of you guys was the first one on my home page. Maybe a sign I don’t know. But you two are now my favorite reactors. God bless you both you brought me some peace this morning. 🍻

  • @tonyflores9207
    @tonyflores9207 Před 5 měsíci

    My dad has been a trucker most of my life, and this song has always been a trigger of anxiety for me! Not that i don't love it along with all those old trucker ballads u can only find on those old truck stop mixed tapes. But, I've always had the biggest worry my dad would die on the road, which he's still on. He's one of those old timers who will drive till he absolutely can't anymore.

  • @darlieoneeleven
    @darlieoneeleven Před 5 měsíci

    I have been there and done that! As a family of truckers, this was our theme song!

    Before i had my right leg amputated in the spring of '19 i had been trucking for 25yrs. My boys loved all of the trucking songs old, and new. I still take em with me on local runs, and their favorite songs a from Tony Justice, I have to play them on repeat, volume all the way up till the speakers sound like they're going to pop. I miss those days of being able to take them with me for a month or two in spring and summers.

    Oooh Alabama and the Eagles are bands I grew up with as they were my dad's favorites. You cant go wrong with either band.

    This song has been very special to my best friend because her Dad was a trucker. Even more so since he passed.

    My daddy was a trucker and still works in the business - he does new driver orientation now. He left us for 2 weeks to take communication supplies to ground zero when 9/11 happened. I use to love going on runs with him! Truckers were my best friends lol

    Another GREAT trucking song is Norton Buffalo's 18 WHEELS. You guys like harmonica and Norton is a master. Norton often played with The Steve Miller Band in the 70's.
    I've loved the Alabama 18 Wheeler song since it was released. It still makes me cry everytime! Happy stuff always gets me.

    I absolutely loved it! Not a country listener so I have never heard it before but I do remember when this group was winning awards. Now I know why! Excellent ❤

      I wasn't a country listener, either, until I discovered them. I suggest checking out the rest of their catalogue because they have many more songs that are just as good.

    The boy's from Fort Payne have one of the most hit filled catalogs of all time and we will never see another band like ALABAMA but if you want more from them "40 Hour Week" "Born Country" There's No Way" "Love In The First Degree" are a must listen and "See The Embers Feel The Flame" has the late great Jeff Cook on lead vocals!

    trucking isint so much like this anymore. but we do provide. i grew up on alabama music and drive "18wheeler" 6 years now, but technology has made it so different. so this song is a magnificent artifact. i got to see alabama live in huntsville this year and was amazing. as old as they are, they still get the crowd to play along. i send this from my truck... leaving colorado. bringing cattle feed to alabama. the world goes round. its all a song goes round and round.

    I saw them at the WV State Fair in 1982. I’m not a country music fan but always loved Alabama.

    So much love and appreciation for your compassion and consideration for not just our truckers but all people. Another trucking song----"Giddy Up Go" by Red Sovine. He also sings "Teddy Bear" Both will bring tears to your eyes. Another good trucking song. Kathy Mattea's "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses".
    I was a trucker for over a decade. Yes, a tough life. I missed some important times with my son and wife. But, it also was a great life because I got to meet thousands of nice people all over this great country of ours. Would I do it again? Probably not. Family time is too precious. I missed being there and helping and watching my boy grow up.

    Notice how momma never doubted? She told the man who called her with the bad news, and she just told them, when you find him, tell him that we love him.

    I love the way she said "I was having such a good time". Being from Alabama, I grew up hearing this band. Being from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, I knew some of the songwriters and folks associated with the band. My first music festival was their "June Jam" in Ft. Paine, AL. Super fun for a young teenager to attend this with family. An aside, we're 4 or 5 days into the fallout of an ice storm here, and a lot of our grocery stores are empty of fresh food, along with many of our restaurants due to the trucks not making it in yet.
    A suggestion for a future video that'll get you hooked going down a rabbit hole for sure. Check out "40 Hour Week" by the band Alabama. It's also about trucking, and was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, which was once labelled "the hit recording capital of the world".

    Such a great song. A fun trucking one is Convoy. CW McCall originally did it. Paul Brandt re-recorded it with a fun video.
