The Truck Got Stuck - Corb Lund

[00:17.58]The chev got stuck and the ford got stuck
[00:19.82]But the chev unstuck when the dodge showed up
[00:22.14]But the dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
[00:24.14]Which eventually pulled out the ford
[00:27.03]With some difficulty
[00:29.52]Well more rain than we'd seen for a thousand years
[00:32.02]Caused financial joys and biblical fears
[00:34.31]It caused some smiles it caused some tears
[00:36.33]But more to the point of our story
[00:38.24]For the first time in the collective memory
[00:40.69]That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy
[00:45.55]Boggy and sticky
[00:47.1]We'd pull one truck out and get another stuck in
[00:49.75]And motors would roar and tires would spin
[00:51.64]We'd sink right down
[00:53.23]Down to the diff
[00:54.03]And we'd all take turns and do it again
[00:56.31]Till no one could move
[00:57.28]We'd call one more friend
[00:58.58]Come on out here
[01:00.49]We need youbring your truck
[01:05.18]The chev got stuck and the ford got stuck
[01:07.44]But the chev unstuck when the dodge showed up
[01:09.67]But the dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
[01:11.78]Which eventually pulled out the ford
[01:14.7]And the dodge
[01:16.91]They got me stuck in the mud
[01:18.44]So they couldn't rehearse
[01:19.59]And chavase too has missed his work
[01:22.0]Richie
[01:22.78]He now fears the worst
[01:23.95]He stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk
[01:26.11]Course holman didn't have nothing better do to
[01:30.58]'Cept ranch
[01:35.240005]The chev got stuck and the ford got stuck
[01:37.36]But the chev unstuck when the dodge showed up
[01:39.57]But the dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
[01:41.68]Which eventually pulled out the ford
[01:47.009995]Well it was truck after truck
[01:48.380005]We all got stuck
[01:49.47]'Cept the big old four by hutterite truck
[01:52.11]We all thought lord are we in luck
[01:53.770004]But he wouldn't come anywhere near us
[01:55.759995]Mighty neighborly
[01:57.6]Mighty neighborly
[02:00.02]So we used a lot of our backs
[02:01.67]A little of our brains
[02:02.97]We jacked up the jacks
[02:04.13]And snugged up the chains
[02:05.18]We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin'
[02:08.96]We put what timber we had
[02:10.55]Underneath the wheels
[02:11.54]And we was all out of sand
[02:12.8]But managed to steal
[02:13.88]Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see
[02:17.41]That 'oughta give us some traction
[02:22.77]The chev got stuck and the ford got stuck
[02:24.99]But the chev unstuck when the dodge showed up
[02:27.24]But the dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
[02:29.33]Which eventually pulled out the ford
[02:34.4]We spilled genetically modified canola seed
[02:36.99]That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds
[02:39.68]And for big old yields and margarine oil
[02:42.12]Raised hell all over that native prairie soil
[02:46.45]Agriculture canada is definitely gonna be looking for us
