Truckin' onions down the Grapevine Jake brake blaring I am almost HOME sang the feller drivin' onions, Singing common man songs just getting' along Makes up words when he can He's an uncommon man but he takes a lot of pride in what I am. They're playing sad Merle Haggard songs on the radio Rollin' onions down the Grapevine Airbrake smokin' smell heavy fifty miles by now, Singing trucker man songs Just getting along all downhill from there He was an uncommon man but he took a lot of  pride in what I am. They're still playing  Merle Haggard songs on the radio There's onions on the freeway Clear on down to Button Willow. I guess old Merle died too, today.

I later saw that wreck as a poster in the dmv, when I wen to renew my farm labor bus driver license. I remembered back in 2016 when Merle died, I think.
