Corb Lund Band The Truck Got Stuck Lyrics

The chev got stuck
and the ford got stuck
got the chev unstuck
when the dodge showed up
but the dodge got stuck in a tractor rut
which eventually pulled out the ford
(with some difficulty)

More rain than we've seen for a thousand years
caused financial joys and biblical fears
it caused some smiles and 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, call one more friend
come on out here, we need you. bring your truck

The chev got stuck
and the ford got stuck
got the chev unstuck
when the dodge showed up
but the dodge got stuck in a tractor rut
which eventually pulled out the ford
(and the dodge)

it got me stuck in the mud so I couldn't rehearse
and Chavez too has missed his work
Richie he now fears the worst
he stood up his ex-wife, she called him a jerk
'course Holden didn't have nothin' better to do
(except ranch)

The chev got stuck
and the ford got stuck
got the chev unstuck
when the dodge showed up
but the dodge got stuck in a tractor rut
which eventually pulled out the ford

well it was truck after truck we all got stuck
except the big ol' four by huddarite 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 and a little of our brains
we jacked up the jacks and snugged up the chains
we all did our very best to refrain from shoveling
we put what timber we had underneath the wheels
and we wuz all out of sand but managed to steal
two sacks of the best modern canola seed ya ever did see
(that oughta give us some traction)

The chev got stuck
and the ford got stuck
got the chev unstuck
when the dodge showed up
but the dodge got stuck in a tractor rut
which eventually pulled out the ford
(epilouge)

we spread genetically modified canola seed
that was genetically modified for control on the weeds
and for big old yields of margarine oil
raised hell all over that native prairie soil
agriculture canada is definitely gonna be lookin' for us
