From the recording Like a Viking
A high-energy trucking comedy where every plan collapses and humor becomes survival.
Lyrics
Woke up at five, truck fueled and fine
Check the load sheet, wait what’s this line
Destination’s in a town that doesn’t exist
And the GPS thinks it’s a twisty mist
Tried to back up, but the trailer’s stuck
A cow’s on the highway, just chewin’ some luck
Then the scales broke, and the paperwork’s gone
The client’s dog ate it… I’m not playin’ along
Radio crackles, boss is on the line
“Why’s this shipment late?” I swear I’m fine
Logistical nightmare
Flat tires beware
Cargo lost don’t care
Dispatch calls despair
Forklift broke somewhere
Paperwork in the air
Truck stuck in a snare
Boss yells prepare
Forklift ran off with the pallet of cheese
Traffic jam’s caused by a herd of geese
Loading dock’s flooded, paperwork soaked
Every plan I make just gets revoked
Dispatcher sighs, You’re always on time
I laugh and say, Yeah in another timeline
Logistical nightmare
Route’s blocked beware
Cargo spills in midair
Fuel gauge on a tear
Truck breaks over there
Dispatch sighs don’t stare
Load’s late so unfair
Boss grumbles prepare
Maybe one day, the roads will behave
The scales will work, the cows won’t misbehave
Till then I grin and I steer through despair
Laughing out loud at this freight nightmare
Radio crackles, boss is on the line
“Why’s this shipment late?” I swear I’m fine
Logistical nightmare
Flatbed bent beware
GPS in disrepair
Truck slides on a flare
Forklift lost somewhere
Schedule blown in the square
Paper jam oh, I swear
Boss shouts repair
Yeah logistical nightmare
I’m just a trucker with too much flair
