Lyrics
Hitting the road for a 4-week tour
Nine guys in a bus, seven of them smoke
Pack up the gear,
Some clothes and some books
Driving 4000 miles, I know it
Sounds like a joke
Packing up in Edmonton,
Gotta hit the road at one
Driving all night and all day
To get back to Thunder Bay
Put some gas in the tank, with
Josh at the wheel
We hit the plains for another ordeal
CHORUS
Keep me on the highway 3x
I don't know who I'm talking to
If you can hear me I'm begging you
Keep this piece of junk on the road
For 28 days until we get home
Snow coming down
We can't see the road
Hearts are pounding
Something's gonna explode
I try to get some sleep and shut it out
If I die in my sleep it'll all work out
Eighteen-wheelers scream right by
"I can't see the road!" is Josh's cry
As the van comes to rest in a drainage ditch
All we can do is breathe a heavy sigh
Now we're outside it's ten below
Pushing a two-ton bus in two feet of snow
No hats no gloves and no snow tires
We gotta push it
Chorus
Solo
