FADES TO:
3. ANIMATION SEGMENT - OPENING - ANIMATION SHOTS: # 3 - 15 THE ANIMATION STORY
A VERSE and CHORUS of Susanne Spirit’s SONG, Love My Truck Driv’in Man” play during the animated film segment.
(Men, and women, are out on the lonely highways of this glittered country for hours at a time, alone, and this song of love is the fantasy that each one desires - that someone - back home - loves only them and is right at their side every mile in spirit.
This theme song, written by Ms. Spirit, says how proud this wife is of her hard workin’, lovin’ man. The musical, magical, southern style notes and heartfelt words express respectful love from a woman that is proud about her husband’s hard work and that he drives a big rig. Viewers will experience this soulful love by listening to Susanne Spirit’s Theme song, Love My Truck Driv’in Man, as they watch the animation about Susanne and her Tour Bus and Love Tour Truck traveling to get to a truck stop to entertain these Highway Troops, the truckers.)

SONG - SUSANNE SPIRIT (V.O.)
SONG - LOVE MY TRUCK DRIV’IN MAN (1)
(Chorus)
I love my truck driv’in, hard work’in lov’in man.
I love my truck driv’in, hard work’in, lov’in man.
Yes, he drives that big shiny rig,
haulin’ loads all over this land.
(Verse 1)
Some people say how can you trust him on the road,
Well I say if I can’t trust him,
then I shouldn’t be with him at all.
See he gives me this feeling, a peace in my heart,
That even though he’s not with me, we’re really not apart.
(Repeat Chorus)

Wow - We have a lot of people here today. Whoa, are we going to be able to get in here? Kris Kristofferson will be joining us to entertain these Highway Troops. This is going to be fun! Yes, I will be performing too with my band.
Everyone is going to get to see the real life on the road and get to meet all kinds of interesting characters - you get to live like a trucker today and get to know our Highway Warriors – the drivers who deliver everything we eat, own and want, and their families by experiencing a slice of the real world of the trucking industry and the supporting characters of this lifestyle that will warm your hearts.
The men and women out here are filled with hard-working ethics, family values and a spirit of love and integrity that money can not touch or buy. Without these folks delivering all our goods we would have nothing, and they hold the most heart of any human I’ve ever known and I’ve known a lot of them.
We will also talk to some employees, another exciting element of truck stops, some of them are totally wonderful and funny. These truck stops are open 24 hours a day with lots of character and delightful people constantly coming and going. You will just love them all, as we do, I know.

SONG - LOVE MY TRUCK DRIV’IN MAN (1) (LIVE VERSION)
(Chorus)
I love my truck driv’in, hard work’in lov’in man.
I love my truck driv’in, hard work’in, lov’in man.
Yes, he drives that big shiny rig,
haulin’ loads all over this land.
(Verse 1)
Some people say how can you trust him on the road,
Well I say if I can’t trust him,
then I shouldn’t be with him at all.
See he gives me this feeling, a peace in my heart,
That even though he’s not with me, we’re really not apart.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental) ALL MUSICIANS take INSTRUMENTAL SOLOS.
(Verse 2)
He works hard for me. He needs my respect and my trust.
He sleeps very little.
His only home cooked meals are at some truck stop.
And, he never says a word,
except he misses my kisses and the kids.
There aren’t many men like him
who work twenty-four hours a day and never complain.
(Bridge)
One night he called from St. Paul
Said he was feeling kind of lonely, that’s all.
I said, “Funny, I was just a lookin’ at the phone,
hoping you’d call and have a load to come home.”
It’s a rough life, It’s a lonely life,
but it’s my, my, my, man’s life.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Tag) I love my truck driv’in man, my truck driv’in man.

SONG - THIS OLD ROAD (2)

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams

Smiling ain't so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothing's simple as it seems

But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That you're dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons

Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road

Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know

Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road

Thinking of the faces in the window
That you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in

Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road

Say you tried to chase the sundown
And you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling

Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you ?

(TODAY'S GUEST ARTIST, GEORGE STRAIT Sings.) Camera does a VARIETY of SHOTS.

SONG - YOU”LL BE THERE (3)
(Verse 1)
Hope is an anchor and love is a ship,
Time is an ocean and life is a trip.
You don’t know where you’re going,
Till’ you know where you’re at.
And if you can’t read the stars, well you better have a map.
A compass and a conscious, so you don’t get lost at sea,
Or on some lonely island where no one wants to be,
(Verse 2)
From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan.
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand.
And, let the good light guide us through the waves and wind
to the beaches in the world where we have never been
And we’ll climb up on a mountain,
ya’all we’ll let our voices ring.
Those who’ve never tried it will be the first to sing.
(Bridge/Chorus)
Whoa, my, my, I’ll see you on the other side.
If I make it , And it might be a long hard ride.
But I’m gonna take it.
Sometimes it seems that I don’t have a prayer.
Let the weather take me anywhere.
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold.
Cause you’ be there, oh my, my.
(Verse 3)
You don’t bring nothing with you here
And you can’t take nothing back.
I ain’t never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack.
So, I’ve torn my knees up prayin’,
Scarred my back from fallin’ down.
Spent so much time flyin’ high,
till I’m face first in the ground.
So if you’re up there watching me,
would you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand to see you both one day.
(Repeat Bridge/Chorus)

SONG- JOLIE BLON (4)
In the evening, in the shadows, I’ll be waiting, in Louisiana
And, when I hear your sweet voice, I’ll rejoiced, I’ll be happy.
And, saving my kisses for you.
Jolie Blon, cajun angel, let me tell you how I love you.
In the springtime you promised that we would be married
And, I’m waiting, still waiting for you.
Oh-ho-ho-ah-ha-ha.
When your hair turns to silver, I’ll still call you Delta Flower.
Pretty blond, I still love you, I love you I promise.
And, I’m patiently waiting for you.
Oh-ho-ho-ah-ha-ha.
