Yellowhead Highway, that is my run I drive a big Freightliner and my work ain't ever done I load 'em up and go, unload, load, load and back again Back and forth that is my course, this run don't ever end Winnipeg to Edmonton Edmonton to Winnipeg Either side of Saskatoon that is the longest leg Eight-hundred-thirteen miles she's my prairie girl The longest stretch of road in the world I drove her in the Wintertime at thirty-eight below I couldn't see the road ahead for all the drifting snow Frozen axle, B-Train, icicles on the door And even I ain't ever seen nothin' like that before The prairies are my backyard, my home's a sleeper cab The blue sky is a friend of mine, you know it ain't that bad Here comes another trucker, hey look it's Whiskey Jack! Blow the air horn three times and I'll see him comin' back Instrumental Someday I'll own a ranch out here on the plains I'll get a herd of cattle and I'll brand them with my name I'll build myself a home down by the highway side Where I can hear the big rigs when they're rollin' by
