Dave Dudley

Dave Dudley (May 3, 1928 – December 22, 2003), born David Darwin Pedruska, was an American country music singer best known for his truck-driving country anthems of the 1960s and 1970s and his semi-slurred baritone. His signature song was "Six Days on the Road," and he is also remembered for "Vietnam Blues," "Truck Drivin' Son-of-a-Gun," and "Me and ol' C.B.". Other recordings included Dudley's duet with Tom T. Hall, "Day Drinking," and his own Top 10 hit, "Fireball Rolled A Seven," supposedly based on the career and death of Edward Glenn "Fireball" Roberts. more »

There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
In a distant land so many miles away
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
That is also where I want to live someday
I'd see Lincoln Custer Washington and Pearry Nathan Hale and Colin Kelley too
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
Waving on the land of heroes brave and true

Though I realize I'm crippled that is true sir
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do sir
Let me help to bring the enemy down a peg
If I do some brave deed I will be a hero and the hero brave is what I wanna be
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
In that heaven there must be a place for me
In that heaven there must be a place for me
