The Truck Got Stuck |
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck |
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut, |
Which eventually pulled out the Ford |
With some difficulty |
Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand years |
Caused financial joys and biblical fears |
It caused some smiles it caused some tears |
But more to the point of our story |
For The first time in the collective memory, |
That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy |
Boggy and sticky |
We’d pull one truck out and get another stuck in And motors would roar and tires would spin |
We’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it again |
Till no one could move, we’d call one more friend, |
Come on out here, we need you? |
bring your truck |
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck |
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut |
Which eventually pulled out the Ford |
And the Dodge |
They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn’t rehearse |
And Chavase too has missed his work |
Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk |
Course Holman didn’t have nothing better do to, ?cept ranch. |
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck |
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut |
Which eventually pulled out the Ford |
Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck |
?cept the big old four by hutterite truck |
We all thought? |
lord are we in luck?! |
But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us, |
Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly. |
So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains |
We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains, |
We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin'. |
We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels |
And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal |
Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see, |
That? |
oughta give us some traction |
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck |
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut |
Which eventually pulled out the Ford |
We spilled genetically modified canola seed |
That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds |
And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native |
prairie soil |
Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us |
