lyrics

We’re rumbling down the road and we got eight more hours to go
Pulled from Yellowknife and we’re just hitting Behchoko
Tearing up the tar we got a driver driving hard
Racing through the Deh Cho on our way to Fort Liard

There’s a rattle in the engine and a squeaking in the floor
I must have broke the muffler when I tried to close the door
Bumper’s falling off you know that everything’s gone wrong
It’s just another rambling roadtrip driving country song

We pulled her into Providence the wheels were coming loose
From dodging all the buffalo and running down a moose
I don’t know why we got to get to Fort Liard today
We got no reason for this random roadtrip anyway

And I don’t know if we’re ever gonna get there
And I’m not sure if I really even care
Didn’t get very far, got a flat tire….
And there’s not much air in the spare

So we crossed that mighty river there and then we hung a right
Hit a rock that busted what was left of our headlights
Thumped along on rotten tires right past the Jean Marie
If we make it to Fort Liard it’ll be a shock to me

We turned her south at Checkpoint heading down the Liard Trail
Past the Lindberg Landing and the Blackstone Park as well
Raced along the riverbank between the growing hills
We’re barely going to make it cause we hardly have the will

We pulled into Fort Liard, we’re all breathing more or less
The van’s a little choked but it’ll make it home I guess
We ground her through the gears in trying to make it to this town
But there’s nothing much to do so we’ll just have to turn around

And I don’t know if we’re ever gonna get there
And I’m not sure if I really even care
Didn’t get very far, got a flat tire….
And there’s not much air in the spare

I live in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. I’m a window cleaner in my spare time. I learned to play guitar from sitting around the campfire with my friends. When I’m not playing music, I like riding my bike, canoeing, welding, and building castles out of snow and ice. ... more
