When I was a little kid I never really understood how my father would listen to these older songs . Now that I am grown I find myself strangely addicted to all the old songs my father liked. This one has always stuck with me as well as Stranger In my house by Ronnie
They call me the mighty rooster out on the road. Prisoner of the highway! Been truckin' since I was 8 and I can feel my body shake as I listen to this gnarly tune. Keep on truckin brothers, haul that mighty freight! 10-4 god bless
I Lost my best friend Mr NC larue .he started driving young also . my hats off to you. It's a different seen today . you my friend are a rare dying breed
@@AdrianSmith-lb4ro A lot of the drivers today do not know what a "hot mile" is. And all of us "old school" truckers and retired truckers have probably logged more "hot miles" than they ever driven. IT is totally different out there today than it was 10 to 20 yrs ago.
As a truck driver this song hits deep only I didn’t enjoy much as Ron 😂😂 god speed my man! I use to bump this on my boombox at the truck stops and everybody looked at me crazy 6,2 Mexican covered in tattoos bumpin good ol Ronnie in west Texas
Iam 60 and discovered Ronnie in my senior year in high school. Stranger in my house was relevant too 1982 loved that song. Later on in my life I realized that there was a stranger in my house that I'm dealing with at this moment sucks but I'll get through it. I crank This song in traffic eventually I get home lol.
Growing up I never had time with my father he was a old timer trucker and one of the finest and proudest trucker in America 🇺🇸!!!! And now I’m a trucker and now I see why my father wasn’t home all the time since I’m doing the same thing now
Me too. Out here since '98 , I don't even like going home anymore. There's nothing back there. I love trucking. I live a life that most men can only dream about !
Hi dear Good morning I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
I saw Ronnie milsap back in 82? He said that the band let him drive the bus into town LOL great show! I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made, driven the back road so I wouldn't get weighed, if I had it all to do over on the road I would have stayed. I've hard steel from Bethlehem to Birmingham, I'm been Coast to Coast border to border and beyond. I've left Little Rock Arkansas drop a lot of strawberries in Connecticut pick up a load in the warehouse in Jersey and be back in 36 hours by myself no road dope just coffee pissing the jugs out the window. I've made two drops in East LA go to Oxnard pick up a little bananas drive straight back home,, the pillow didn't get any head, lol
Yes it is. The younger generation don't know how it was doing a load like that. Probably 13 hrs to do 800 to 1,000 mile run. As soon as pulled on the interstate it was hammer down
@@davidalexander828 Sounds like a damn fun time. I pulled a 32 hours straight New Kensington Pennsylvania to Phoenix Arizona drive, it was only in a manual car but I loved it and the freedom i felt and the views that I saw, the world was different through that lense, and it was a truly beautiful world.
@maoduida387 Sometimes I loved it and other times I didn't. But I did what had to be done like every other old school trucker has done. And your trip sounds like it was awesome.
@@davidalexander828 I've had a job like that too, it was way more downs than it was ups and yet I still miss it, I hope you can look back on your time in an 18 wheeler with some level of fondness for it, they always seemed like a whole lotta fun to roll around in, through thick and thin.
Absolutely my favorite song. Diesel power baby!! My dad is a trucker. And multiple times has he hauled steel, tobacco, tires, large truck tires, and has driven a tractor trailer and dump trucks for over 37 years. and this song just describes what he does so well. I ride in the dump truck with him every weekend and it is the most funnest thing I’ve ever experienced.
This song is how I lived my last 33 years on the road coast to coast and from fl to Maine to Washington St to the Mexican border.the road makes u old fast I know guys in the 50. S look ,,80
Prisoner of the highway I am bringing a convoy so tell yellow duck that we're bringing the hammer down and I'm coming to help you sweetheart I'm coming to help you you got an angel in your corner You didn't know
I’m a rapper turnt sanga. Why do these country bumpkins make songs about diesels cruising highways? Do they talk to their bus drivers on tour? 😂😂😂😂 I can’t see Ronnie milsap driving for 6 days straight without taking a shower.
That "country bumpkin" made millions and entertained millions with his talents. Funny, nobody I know has ever heard of you. Millions of people have heard of Ronnie Millsap and have paid him for his skills. Look up his personal and work history. He is a talented musician, singer and song writer. A good artists feels whatever they are singing about. By the time he wrote this song he was living on a tour bus travelling the country. I think he did pretty good for a blind orphan. What have you accomplished with what God has blessed you with? Do you bad mouth Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles? They sing about things they have never seen.

I’ve never related more to a comment😂
You have daddy issues
Cause it’s good old school music. When the singer and musicians had real skills and performed with a purpose!
Always liked this guy. Skills, talent, and realness.
I agree 100%
I have been a truck driver for 25 years now with no end in sight. I guess i am a "Prisoner of the Highway"
You and me both brother.
I drove for 48 years. Said by to the highway 3+ years ago. With whats out there now I don't miss it.
@@gac3121955 ,good job Sir. Thank you
Your carrying so much precious cargo. Thank you, truckers do so much and sacrifice so much.
Good jop

They call me the mighty rooster out on the road. Prisoner of the highway! Been truckin' since I was 8 and I can feel my body shake as I listen to this gnarly tune. Keep on truckin brothers, haul that mighty freight! 10-4 god bless

😂 good to go ❤
My father drove over the road when we was growing up. We lost him in July. This song reminds me of him so much 😢
Sorry for your loss, please keep reflecting on the good and have happy days ahead
So sorry 😪
So sorry I’m sure you have great memories with him cruising the road listening to great music 🙏🏻
Best song ever listening to a tape in a GMC General in 1992 😅

Rhythm section(esp bass & drums) DRIVE these songs.....grabbed my ear a couple of years back.
You truly are a legend in your time, Ronnie. I love you Brother & may GOD Bless you!!!!!!
Not sure how I made it this long without hearing some of these. Heard Stranger in my house a few weeks back, and it must've really planted a seed.
One of the best truckin songs.
A great song to play while your on the Hwy, Memories for me...~Good one's.. Thanks Ronnie..🌹
My brother in law sent me this song tonight he listens to this song when he's out plowin for the state of Maine.
Love me some R.M., his music never gets old, no matter how many times I listen. "Music" today just doesn't compare! 👍🏻
It wanted my heart, I gave it my soul 🤙🏼
This is for my best friend Rodney Walton who drives the 18 wheeler for a living be safe Rod🙏♥️

For a 28 year veteran driver, this song is so true

Aman driver
Yo the real talk is that this man learned how to make his voice do that
I drove over the road for 41 years. Retired in 2010. Yes I was a prisoner of the highway.
This song gets stuck in my head
So great. Love Ronnie!
Such an awesome song!
Ronnie is the master!
Legendary song! 🇺🇸
When I was at the glebe senior center I used to play that song on the radio as it was a cassette tape back in 2004.
Jesus christ this is good!
Absolutely my favorite song. Diesel power baby!! My dad is a trucker. And multiple times has he hauled steel, tobacco, tires, large truck tires, and has driven a tractor trailer and dump trucks for over 37 years. and this song just describes what he does so well.

This song has absolutely no right to go so hard. None.
Hard as a rock
This song is awesome ❤
Iconic and amazing song ❤️ did you ever attend any of is concert?

This song was played for my brother on his final resting ground... Julian Scott Gutierrez BIG CHIEF, he was a true dedicated trucker...
Never drove an 18 wheeler but man does this song remind of those long drives from Carolina to Miami in the 26 foot box truck
Ghey

You can disagree with a style or type of music, but you Don't have to be insulting about it. "Country Bumpkin"? Ok not your cup of tea, I get it.
Pilot a barge for a living. Guess im a prisoner of the waterway
Dat,z dat Shirt 😅

@@michaelsutton5695 your mom has hear of me 🤣🤣🤣
@@michaelsutton5695 Difference between rappers and Country folk. These lyrics are deeper than his soul
If he drove a truck for a living he would understand.
He's blind, dummy....explain to us all how he's gonna drive anything? (directed to Milkktitz Chan)
Roll on Ronnie!
