Western Star

I’m pulling out on the long haul
Rollin’ my rig out of Cornwall
Blow my smoke in the morning sun
I’m loaded and a-rollin’ on the 401
Oshawa, Kingston, Hogtown, London
I took ‘er through T.O. ain’t that something
Kitchener, Chatham, Windsor, Detroit
I’m an owner-operator I’m self-employed

Chorus:
I’m a two-way teamster transport truckin’
Diesel demon double clutchin’
Makin’ my way along every highway wherever you are
I’m a white line wrangler wheeling my wide load in my Western Star

They say that a cat has nine lives
Well, I might be part feline
I could have had a tombstone a lot of times
But I always came through alright
I recall a roll-over wreck
On an icy road up in Quebec
I guess that the Saints in La Belle Province
Mont donne une autre chance

Chorus

Someday when I reach the end of my line
I’ll jake brake and say goodbye
Leave my liner and head for a lake
My rod and my reel is the rig I’ll take
In the Muskoka’s I’ll be easy to fine
I’ll be pulling out the pickerel two-at-a-time

If truckin’ is a fever I caught it
Whatever you got a big truck brought it
By a guy on the fly rolling high the way I do
I’m a tractor twister behind a windshield
Pull out my pistons, ready for a rebuild
Trying to get back to the last time I just came through

Chorus
