"Truckin'" Words by Robert Hunter; music by Garcia, Lesh, Weir Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission. (Grateful Dead) Truckin' - got my chips cashed in Keep Truckin - like the doodah man Together - more or less in line Just keep Truckin on Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street Chicago, New York, Detroit it's all on the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings Dallas - got a soft machine Houston - too close to New Orleans New York - got the ways and means but just won't let you be Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of True Love Most of the time they're sittin and cryin at home One of these days they know they gotta get goin out of the door and down to the street all alone Truckin - like the doodah man once told me you got to play your hand sometime - the cards ain't worth a dime if you don't lay em down Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine all a friend can say is "ain't it a shame" Truckin' -- up to Buffalo Been thinkin - you got to mellow slow Takes time - you pick a place to go and just keep Truckin on Sitting and staring out of a hotel window Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again I'd like to get some sleep before I travel but if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in Busted - down on Bourbon Street Set up - like a bowling pin Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin They just won't let you be You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel Tired of travel, you want to settle down I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying Get out of the door - light out and look all around Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it's been Truckin - I'm goin home Whoa-oh baby, back where I belong Back home - sit down and patch my bones and get back Truckin on ------------------------------------------------------------------- Was in a coffeehouse with a friend right after work today (Ice Chai Latte) when this song came on over the stereo, softly, sweetly, picking up a little as the song kept going. Every person in the place over 45ish was smiling, a couple that looked to be in their 60s actually started dancing, and the young kids were bewildered, those that noticed anyway. Is it true? Do you kids not know classics like these. |

Eric Clapton and Jerry Garcia are stranded on a tropical island where they are captured by cannibals. Being gracious cannibals, however, they grant the two musicians a last request. Jerry thinks for a minute and then says "I'd like a guitar, so that I can play "Truckin'" one last time." The cannibals agree to his request, and then turn to Eric. He immediately responds with "Kill me before he plays that damn song!" |

I'm a huger fan of the Dead than Khross. I am also a one-upper. That said, this song is a bit overplayed IMO (as much as any Dead song could be). This, Casey Jones, and Touch of Grey. But I certainly don't change the station if they come on. Time to bring back my old avatar for a while. |

And the Red White and Blue Motif suggests Republican. Since you had the fetus sucking hillary, I didn't pair democrat. |

Guess you can count me in the foot-tapping crowd. First time I heard this song and really listed to the lyrics, some friends and I were driving up to a camping trip. I was sitting in the back seat on a Friday morning, having worked all night. The "I'd like to get some sleep before I travel" line came clearly through the sleep-deprivation haze, and I've realy loved the song ever since. Thanks for the new ear bug! |

I remember this song from either one of the Rock Band or Guitar Hero games. Other than that, the Dead are overrated. Don't really care for their music(probably because I've never been high). |

There are some things that should not be smelled, a Dead show is one of them. |
