Like a rocket sled on rails.
We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left em settin on the scales.

From the illinoise national guard.
Theres armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And rigs of evry size.
Yeah, them chicken coops was fulla bears
And choppers filled the skies.

With a thousand screamin trucks
An eleven long-haired friends a jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus.

And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didnt have a dog-goned dime.

So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says let them truckers roll, 10-4.
