Way beck when in the stone age of record players my sister had borrowed a record and I got my hands on it and played a song over and over...
Eventualy she gave the record back and I have never been able to find the song again.
It was sung by a lady who wore a black dress on the cover of the album...
The refrain was:
18 wheels a-rollin diesel open wide.

one line was close to this:
She is from Mobile Alabama and he is from Wentworth Tennessee.

Was about a trucker and his lady.

Was country/soft Rock

help?

Do you remember what year it was?  Was it a new record at the time?  Was it a single, or were there other songs on the album?

If you think she might be the one, here is a single of the song on a 45.  Might be worth $13 to find out!

I think this is it!!!  The refrain is the same, anyway... Listen to a clip on a compilation CD on Amazon.

ETA:  This one is pretty twangy - I can't imagine that you would mistake it for soft rock - so perhaps another artist does a cover?

I am pretty sure it is it.
Ordered the CD!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Will post once I get it if it is the right song.

The soft rock part is from fuzzy memory from 30 years ago.

I like a lot of the other songs on the cd also.

lol I have searched google a million times for it over the years.
I am usually very good at finding things on google but this one was a massive fail of epic proportions.

I love the Devil Went Down to Georgia! When our son was smaller, that's the only thing that would calm him down for some reason. We'd play it over and over on the computer and I'd rock him in the computer chair.
