In old Temptation's rain, I'm duckin'
For your love through sleet and snow, I'm truckin'

Keep On Truckin' Song Chart

The phrase "keep on truckin'" is a phrase of encouragement meaning to continue stay focused regardless of circumstances or setbacks. The term originates from a song first recorded by Blind Boy Fuller in the 1930s, "Truckin' My Blues Away."

Truckin' on down the line
Hey hey hey
I say keep on truckin'
Truckin' my blues away

The phrase was popularised by the US underground cartoonist Robert Crumb in a one-page comic published in the first issue of Zap Comix in 1968.

This song was Eddie Kendricks' first major hit as a solo artist, coming two years after his departure from The Temptations. He believed it was the title that ensured it was a success. "The old people used to truck when they were dancing. And I knew the trucking industry would embrace the record," Kendricks told Fred Bronson.

The song's grooves were clearly aimed at the dance floor and it was arguably the first-recorded and released disco hit record. Other possible candidates for the first disco hit include "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia), " George McRae's "Rock Your Baby," The Hues Corporation's "Rock The Boat" and Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe."
