The Greatest RV Song Ever?

Who remembers the old cowboy show "Rawhide"? It's our traveling theme song.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!
Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.

Full Lyrics

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride

CHORUS
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin'
Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.

Rawhide!
Rawhide!

Besides the Kasey Musgraves album I am pretty much hooked on Elvis Radio on the Sirius Satellite. Great music for a road trip. I promised my wife a lot of Elvis while we travel this summer and just didn't seem as excited as I was.

What is everyone else listening to while road tripping this summer?

"I spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck". Hmm maybe Willie was talking about something else.

King of the Road by Roger Miller?

Everybody's talkin' at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stop and stare.
I don't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain.
Going where the weather suits my clothes.
Banking off of the Northeast wind,
Sailin' on a summer breeze,
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone.

Harry Nilsson

From the first time I heard that song (in the film "Midnight Cowboy") it's caused my heart to lift and soar, and moved me to go... well, anywhere. Anywhere but wherever I am. Wonderful song to dream on, if you dream of traveling. :)

(raises hand) Me! I remember "Rawhide." Also "Have Gun, Will Travel," "Maverick" and "Gunsmoke." I was a little girl then. What happened? :E

The Blues Brothers' take on the "Rawhide" theme was a hoot.

Watched them all. My Mom would just swoon when Matt Dillon would draw on the bad guy in the opening credits. As a kid, I loved "Have Gun, Will Travel". His business card said "Wire Paladin, San Francisco". I thought his first name was "Wire".

Do you remember Sugarfoot, that was my favorite cowboy show.
