    Lol. Awesome. I come from a long line of truckers. I even went out on a few runs in the 80s. Back then, you had two log books. One to show the DOT and one that actually had your real miles on it. I know truckers that have taken meth and speed and anything they could find to stay awake and run for days on end. This song might be funny, but it's got some truth to it.

      I was a otr driver for 38 yrs and I've run 3&4 log books almost every week. In the 70&80s they took speed mostly RJS, Black beauties, and more. Trucking back then was a whole different world than it is today sadly. Driver's stuck together and looked out for each other.

      Nope they don’t, there was a time where truckers took pink crosses, cross tops or Benzedrine pills. Those were amphetamines but they were not the Chrystal meth that has idiots searching for agates along the freeway at 2am. You won’t last long as a junky in a job that routinely piss tests you.

    [sigh] I miss my dad. Haven't seen him since he stopped by home with a couple lot lizards and beat Mom while screaming about his blue ice. He paid them to babysit me. I was nine, and I discovered what "fried eggs nailed to a wall" meant before I'd ever heard the phrase. And that was the guy. The woman just chain-smoked and occasionally coughed like a lung was coming up. Anyway, they piled into his truck after he tried digging a hole in the cement garage floor because of a treasure map I drew in crayon when I was four. He broke two shovels.

    Whats the most horrific on this song is, is the fact that its true and thousands of people living like this from Argentina, trough States and Canada to China and Europe...broken souls who got caught into promises of wealth were trapped in cage of perpetual fear, doubts, stress and self destruction. And meth is their only friend because it keeps them awake, off their gourds and on the track. How one human being can done this to another is beyond my comprehension, look what capitalism and endless consumerism done to a people. And on top of it these poor folks are shunned and being laugh aat by the same sheeps they supplying on their own health/mental account. Its certainly a Satan in work

After Jonward C Cash realized his album "I Only Sucked A Dick For An Once" he never released an album again. He just disappeared of the face of the Earth. They did an Unsolved Mysteries episode about Mr. Nash but they never aired due to Robert Stack crying the entire time. Apparently Stack was a huge fan
