The Truck Got Stuck

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck

Got 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 the 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, 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

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

Got 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, equal opportunity

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 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 the tractor rut

Which eventually pulled out the Ford

Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck

Except 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

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

Got the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up

But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut

Which eventually pulled out the Ford

Epilouge

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
