Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine (July 7, 1917 – April 4, 1980) was an American country music singer and songwriter associated with truck driving songs, particularly those recited as narratives but set to music. The most famous examples are his 1965 number #1 hit "Giddyup Go" and his 1976 number one hit "Teddy Bear".
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.
"Men with Broken Hearts" was a song of which its composer was extremely proud; in the liner notes to the 2001 Mercury album Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter: Beyond the Sunset, he is quoted asking journalist Allen Rankin, "Ain't that the awfulest, morbidest song you ever heard in your life? Don't know how I happen to write that thing, except that somebody that fell, he's the same man as before he fell, ain't he?" In the American Masters film, Danny Dill recalls, "He was simply overwhelmed by that song, 'Men with Broken Hearts.' And it was so sad, it was awful! But he loved it." The song, like most of the Luke the Drifter recordings, is a recitation, and Hank's delivery, infused with compassion and sadness, gives it a moral authority that is immediately arresting and would influence countless singers from George Jones to Bob Dylan. Williams recorded the song on December 21, 1950 in at Castle Studio in Nashville - the same session that produced "Cold, Cold Heart" - with Fred Rose producing. He was backed by Jerry Rivers (fiddle), Don Helms (steel guitar), Sammy Pruett (electric guitar), Chet Atkins (rhythm guitar), Ernie Newton or Howard Watts (bass). It was released as a single in 1951 with "Just Waitin'" as the B-side.

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
