《Dempster Highway》歌词

[00:00:00] Dempster Highway - Tim Hus/Gary Fjellgaard

[00:00:08] Sittin' in a café

[00:00:09] Along about halfway on the all weather route

[00:00:12] Drinkin' coffee black in a Lode King hat

[00:00:14] And a Marlboro hangin from his mouth

[00:00:17] He said I'm done this is my last run

[00:00:19] I'm cashin' in my snow chains

[00:00:21] I've done ten and eight on the road of slate

[00:00:23] And I ain't gonna do it again

[00:00:27] I've seen 'em come

[00:00:28] And I've seen 'em go two time

[00:00:29] And double back

[00:00:31] All the way to Ft Macpherson

[00:00:33] Blowin' smoke from both of my stacks

[00:00:36] I've done my time on the DEW line

[00:00:38] As a lonesome highway wrangler

[00:00:40] And I'm tired of growin' my mutton chops

[00:00:42] Like a Yukon Riverboat gambler

[00:00:46] Through the ice and the snow

[00:00:47] At fourty below I barrel right through the storm

[00:00:50] Across the arctic circle

[00:00:52] White knuckle 'till my gears are worn

[00:00:54] And the damned old Dempster Highway

[00:00:57] Couldn't get the best of me

[00:00:59] Way up on top of the world truckin'

[00:01:01] On the Kamakaze

[00:01:08] Skagway Sue with the wolf tatoo

[00:01:10] She put a little chew in her lip

[00:01:12] She tucked away the can of Copenhagen Brand

[00:01:15] And said Ive been tryin' to quit

[00:01:17] But the nicotine like the eagle plains

[00:01:19] Gets right into your blood

[00:01:21] And I'm hooked on the tone of the big Mac's groan growlin'

[00:01:24] Down in the mud

[00:01:27] She'd be the first to tell of the curse of the diesel

[00:01:30] And the alloy steel

[00:01:31] On the right of way to Mackenzie Bay

[00:01:33] There's a magnetic pull on the wheel

[00:01:36] There's strange things

[00:01:37] Done in the midnight sun

[00:01:38] By those who plow the roads

[00:01:41] So say a prayer on a jacknife rig

[00:01:42] And keep the treads underneath your loads

[00:01:46] Through the ice

[00:01:46] And the snow at fourty

[00:01:47] Below I barrel right through the storm

[00:01:50] Across the arctic circle

[00:01:52] White knuckle 'till my gears are worn

[00:01:55] And the damned old Dempster Highway

[00:01:57] Couldn't get the best of me

[00:01:59] Way up on top of the world truckin'

[00:02:02] On the Kamakaze

[00:02:28] The coffee now was down to the grounds

[00:02:29] And the talk was a getting' low

[00:02:32] There's a blown valve on the number 12

[00:02:34] Came the crackle on the radio

[00:02:36] If you're goin' South you better

[00:02:37] Go now before the North takes a hold

[00:02:41] You better think quick 'cause up in Inuvik

[00:02:43] They're waitin' for the big wheels to roll

[00:02:46] Through the ice and the snow at fourty below

[00:02:48] I barrel right through the storm

[00:02:51] Across the arctic circle white

[00:02:53] Knuckle till my gears are worn

[00:02:55] And the damned old Dempster Highway

[00:02:57] Couldn't get the best of me

[00:03:00] Way up on top of the world truckin'

[00:03:02] On the Kamakaze

[00:03:05] Way up on top of the world truckin'

[00:03:08] On the Kamakaze
