Topic: Delivery Trucks

This morning I wrote this song after seeing another delivery truck roll up to my neighbor's house to drop off a package again.

Delivery Trucks By Jeff Gilpin


~


Intro strumming G


Delivery Trucks – Jeff Gilpin –  10/24/2021


~


[G]Early in the morning


Sounds from the outside


Dropping off a package


Then it’s back into their ride


[CMaj7]All the stuff that people need


If they want to succeed


[G]Load ‘em up


With some help


Drop ‘em at


Your doorstep


[D]Company’s making their bucks


Thanks to delivery [G]trucks


~


Drop ‘em off and get some more


Bypassing the shopping stores


~


Another day just the same


Delivering and again


All because the people


Just keep on ordering


Stuff that catches our eye


Until it’s piled up sky high


Load ‘em up



With some help


Drop ‘em at


Our doorstep


Companies are taking our bucks


Thanks to delivery trucks


~


Newer stuff will soon be coming


Truckers wheels a constant drumming


~


Solo verse and chorus


~


Storage trailers


Stacked up at the ports


Waiting on more truckers


Because there aren’t enough trucks


Supplies lines’ backing up


People about to erupt


Load ‘em up


With some help


Drop ‘em at


Our doorstep


Companies’ can’t take our bucks


Without more delivery trucks


~


Delivery’s late so we start yelling


Can’t wait for all that they’re selling

Re: Delivery Trucks

I know how you feel Jeff. It seems every other vehicle is a white van, or blue van in the case of Amazon deliveries! As I live in a terraced street, the delivery person will knock door after door if the can't get an answer, they can't just leave the parcel as they'd get stolen!
You've written a very cleverly composed song.

Re: Delivery Trucks

LOL Jeff

My wife is on a first name basis with the UPS delivery guy - he drops stuff off nearly every day.

It's ridiculous.

Nicely described.

Re: Delivery Trucks

Excellent song Jeff your song describes the situation here in New Zealand perfectly. Here most of the things brought online are delivered by people driving Toyota vans. Also as a result of online shopping many of  our well known shops are closing their local  Stores.

Re: Delivery Trucks

Thank you all. Right when I finished the song, another truck was pulling into the same neighbor's driveway. Must have forgotten something from the previous order.
