Corb Lund - 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
