Ice Roads

Lyrics

winter 's here, ice roads are in now its time to make some jingle

stocked up on beans, blankets and beer and a dozen bags of Pringles

the heated seat 's sure to come in handy, tad warmer then that old cracked vinyl

c.d. player in the big old sleeper is bound to help with these miles

rule is keep the dirty side down never go over the limit

check all of your tires every time you stop never dump the clutch and spin it

drivin' on ice is like a kind of an art you can almost paint a picture

with 18 wheels and a load of freight paintbrush is the old gear shifter

ice roads ain't all they're cracked up to be

I spend half my life talkin' on the old CB

I'm a double clutchin' gear slammin' son of a gun

drivin's away my life in the midnight sun

ice roads ain't all they're cracked up to be

still remember first trip up back 'bout ten years ago

I was on the ice when I heard it crack

I though I was still on snow

my heart skipped a beat, truck started to dive and I began to hold my breath

just how fast could I open the door and would the ice withstand the test

Cheechako is a word I learnt first winter up here in the north

It's a fancy word for newbee, you're better off second, third, or fourth

the Sourdoughs they all knew the drill they said let the kid go first

if he's got what it takes for these frozen lakes, well he better see her at her worst

first thing I did was put the hammer down and tried to pull her from an icy grave

but a voice on the CB radio said "hold her steady or your start the wave"

I call that the voice of reason from a trucker who's been here before

next thing I heard " did you open the window cause the ice might be holding your door"

well it's quite the ride when you first step on if you ain't never been here before

they say two feet thick's about all you need well I think I'd like a dozen or more

when I got to the edge slowed right down and picked up the old CB

said "drivin" these old ice roads ain't all they're cracked up to be".
