Country music is well-known for its affiliation with trucks, often classic Chevy or Ford pickup trucks, or the slate of songs such as C.W. McCoy’s “Convoy,” Jerry Reed’s “Eastbound and Down,” and Alabama’s “Roll On ,” that were dedicated to long-haul truckers and big rigs.
Unlike most songs on this list, which celebrate cars and driving or how some of life’s most pivotal moments involve four wheels, this Jerry Reed song from 1973 takes automobile maker Henry Ford to task for the detrimental impact automobiles have had on society. The song centers around a father-son relationship, starting out with lyrics about the young boy’s fascination with a classic Mustang and his hopes that they will fix it up and drive it someday. However, the father is too busy working to provide for his son. The years pass by and so does the opportunity to fix up that old car. One day, the son receives a call that his father has died and is told his father left him a note.
