These are rough demos. I am a singer/ lyricist I suppose more than anything else. I can't play an instrument. The frustration of not being able to put music to my words lead me to GarageBand. So as a novice tech musician I give you the music in my head.

Breaker-Breaker
by David Wells
Semi trucks all lined up
As far as the eye can see
Then a coffin strapped to a flatbed
In his loving memory
It was a convoy to heaven
for one of their own
It's been a long, long haul
Now it's time to send him home
(Chorus)
It's been breaker-breaker
For 35 years
A lotta truck stop cuisine
And cold, cold beers
It's been breaker-breaker
Since he was eighteen
Oh the friends he's made
And all the things he's seen
And he drove his family crazy
While he drove'm to their dreams
He missed out on mem'ries
He sacrificed for them
They never wanted for anything
Accept
more time with him
Life out on the road
Is hard to describe
But once he'd been bitten
All he could do was drive
(Chorus)
It's been breaker-breaker
For 35 years
A lotta truck stop cuisine
And cold, cold beers
It's been breaker-breaker
Since he was eighteen
Oh the friends he's made
And all the things he's seen
And he drove his family crazy
While he drove'm to their dreams
(Bridge)
It was long hauls and quick phone calls
He checked in everyday
He said no matter what happens
You're all gonna be okay...
Now there's
Semi trucks....all lined up
And every horn was being blown
For a husband, friend and father
Who took care of his own
(Chorus)
It's been breaker-breaker
For 35 years
A lotta truck stop cuisine
And cold, cold beers
It's been breaker-breaker
Since he was eighteen
Oh the friends he's made
And all the things he's seen
And he drove his family crazy
While he drove'm to their dreams
