And the call goes out down the line looking for someone who will be mine. And the call goes out on down the road looking for someone to share this load. Driving on in endless lines of time echoing into the future as tires rhyme. Interstate beckoning though she's no lover that asphalt ghost beneath night's dark cover. Diesel whines - static sings across the radio Each bleary mile reminds I've a ways to go. Solitary driver looking for someone else to share this road with me and myself. Radio check on this thing called life... Is there anyone out there? Should I try... Yes, I'll call again down this line looking for someone to pass the time. Static is all that the Cobra will hiss reminding me of all that I miss. Yellow lines dance on and on. Interstate miles will soon be done. And the call goes out down the line looking for someone who will be mine. And the call goes out on down the road looking for someone to share this load. *�October 12, 2004 Lori S. Maynard*

Lori, I know that being on the road for all those long hours time after time, has to be one of the loneliest jobs in the world. If not for those CB's those guys would probably go stark raving nuts sometimes.
Great tribute to those that 'carry our loads'.
