Story behind the song
I was visiting a girlfriend in Southampton, NY, a rich area. I saw a Diamond Reo garbage truck and remembered my cousin, a truck driver, saying that Diamond Reos were the "Cadillacs of trucks". It struck me funny that this rich town would have a "Cadillac" garbage truck. I called my cousin and got some info on trucks and wrote "Diamond Reo".
