Hell's Gate Run

I pulled out of Prince George with a load of hydro poles
Got a lot of miles behind me and a long way to go
This Peterbilt diesel keeps me rolling on
Pounding out the miles on a truck driving song

Chorus:
I gotta keep on rollin', I got no time to stop
I gotta get back to the girl in Whiterock

I told her I'd be home tonight, she said no you won't
I'll be damned if I do and I'll be damned if I don't
Through the Thompson Canyon on the Hells Gate Run
Get this load on down the road and get this deal done

Chorus

I know she's waitin' for me that's why I gotta go
There's only one way for me to roll, and buddy, that ain't slow
I lost a half an hour where the rock slide came down
Now I'm making up lost time so put the hammer down

Chorus

There's hot coffee in Hope and I'd like to have some too
But they don't have a girl waitin' on 'em the way that I do
So I'll stop off at the weigh scale then I'll be on my way
Roll me right I'll be home tonight back on Boundary Bay

Chorus
