Biography
Early years
Red Sovine was born as Wooodrow Wilson Sovine in 1917 in Charleston, West Virginia, earning the nickname "Red" because of his reddish-brown hair. He had two brothers and two sisters. Sovine (whose last name was pronounced So VINE) was taught to play guitar by his mother. His first venture into music was with his childhood friend Johnnie Bailes, with whom he performed as "Smiley and Red, the Singing Sailors" in the country music revue Jim Pike's Carolina Tar Heels on WWVA-AM in Wheeling, West Virginia. Faced with limited success, Bailes left to perform as part of The Bailes Brothers. Sovine got married, and continued to sing on Charleston radio, while holding down a job as a supervisor of a hosiery factory. With the encouragement of Bailes, Sovine formed The Echo Valley Boys.
A tale of a hitchhiker who hops a ride from a trucker who turns out to be the ghost of a man who died years ago giving his life to save a school bus full of children from a horrible collision with his rig.

With, raindrops on my windshield, teardrops on my steering wheel, this lonely truck's the only thing I own. In my heart i'm pining, while her old engine's whining with eighteen wheels a-humming " Home Sweet Home." I had a gal in Texas, she walked away and left us, this old truck's all I'm depending on. Sometimes I overwork her, but I never would desert her with eighteen wheels a-humming " Home Sweet Home." We've got alot in common, we keep each other going, me and this old truck are hanging on. We just keep right on rolling, that lonesome stack a-blowing, with eighteen wheels a- humming, "Home Sweet Home." It ain't the latest model and it can't take much throttle, them shiny rigs ain't been where this one's gone. And we ain't in a hurry, we loaf along and worry with eighteen wheels a-humming " Home Sweet Home." There's raindrops on my windshield and teardrops on my steering wheel, this lonely truck's the only thing I own. And in my heart I'm pining, while her old engine's whining with eighteen wheels
