Can You Win Here For loosing?

Sometimes I wonder...

I may just quit tryin...

Folks only want to listen to what they want to hear....

Most of you that know me and my rocker, should have expected this sooner or later...

Want me to change the words to Ford?

I didn't think so...



Artist: Morgan Craig

Song: International Harvester

Album: Little Bit of Life

I’m the son of a 3rd generation farmer

I’ve been married 10 years to the farmer’s daughter

I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver

Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower

Chug a lug a luggin’ 5 miles an hour

On my International Harvester

Three miles of cars layin’ on their horns

Fallin’ on deaf ears of corn

Lined up behind me like a big parade

Of late to work road raged jerks

Shoutin’ obscene words flippin’ me the bird

Well you may be on a state paved road

But that blacktop runs through my payload

Excuse me for tryin’ to do my job

But this year ain’t been no bumper crop

If you don’t like the way I’m a drivin’

Get back on the interstate

Otherwise sit tight and be nice

And quit yer honkin’ at me that way

Chorus:

Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation farmer

I’ve been married 10 years to a farmer’s daughter

I got 2 boys in the county 4-H

I’m a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A.

Hay! That’s what I make

I make a lotta hay for a little pay

But I’m proud to say

I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver

Hoggin’ up the road on my a p-p-p-plower

Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour

On my International Harvester

Well I know you got your own deadlines

But cussin’ me ain’t savin’ no time hoss

This big-wheeled wide load ain’t goin’ any faster

So just smile and wave and tip your hat

To the man up on the tractor

Chorus:

Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation farmer

I’ve been married 10 years to a farmer’s daughter

I got two boys in the county 4-H

I’m a lifetime sponsor of the F.F.A.

Hay! That’s what I make

I make a lot of hay for a little pay

But I’m proud to say

I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver

Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-plower

Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour

On my International Harvester

I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ combine driver

Hoggin’ up the road on my p-p-p-plower

Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 miles an hour

On my International Harvester

When I was little, we had a bus driver named Don. He had scarlet fever and couldn't control his legs too good. Only way he could push gas pedal was to the floor. Old chev 6 bout 1950. One time fan went through the hood. Nother one he ripped the rivets out of the wheel on fast turn. Also was bus mechanic, good thing, most inspiring person I knew at that time. He sure tried hard and succeeded, more or less. I still have taillight off one of them black buses.

Yep, and there was the story just a few days ago about the driver falling out of the seat in a turn, and a little girl mashing the brakes, and saving the day, and her getting suspension.

As long as we are on school buses! Around here, on 4 & 6 lane roads, why the he11 do they ALWAYS drive in the inside lane at less than speed limit???

I have a theory that maybe like AARP, someone has put the idea in their head that it is safe place to be. Traffic only on their right & no on & off ramps to watch for. They can't be doing this by chance and the only other reason I can think of it a desire to pi$$ off every other driver on the road!

Not trying to hijack this thread but the school bus part got me. Where I have my garage (business)we have a narrow driveway between the buildings and this eight foot high wooden fence. It is a nice looking pressure treated affair. On the other side of the fence is a parking lot for school buses and about ten buses park backed up against this fence. Last fall our landlord finally got fed up with these buses knocking this fence over into our driveway and onto customers cars,at least once a week. He made the owner of the bus property put in cement curbing to stop the buses. Now they think the hump they are going over is snow and are bashing the s#*t out of the fence again. Someones kids ride on these buses.
Cheers,
Barry

When are they going to write a song about the contrary or inexperienced school bus drivers who could rarely drive on their side of the road with or without kids on the bus and hold up traffic? lolThat 150 hp tractor and me used to teach a few they could drive on their own side of the road. The bus drivers who weren farmers thought they needed both lanes would actually go off the road with no one around because they couldnt handle the buses.

Bingo!

You hit on one of my pet peeves.

There once was a time, long gone, when school bus drivers were farmers, knowledgeable enough to drive school busses with unsynchronized 4 speed truck transmissions and (by today's standards) underpowered 250-270 ci 6 cylinder gasoline engines, and even install tire chains after milking the cows in the morning before leaving for their route.

Installing automatic transmissions into school busses so that unskilled drivers can now operate them in a manner similar to the way that they operate their minivans was unfortunate indeed.
