Hauling ass in the left lane
Talking on the CB
Listening to Sirius 23
Not paying attention too much
Just background noise is all
Up ahead is Cabbage
My what a sight
Covered in snow and ice
Time to back it on down
Taking it slow for once
Moves to the right lane
Drops 4 gears
Jakes loud and proud
Starting the climb
Slipping wheels
Black Ice is what I'm on
Oh shit
Spread comes around
Steers out of jackknife
Drops another gear
Slowly I proceed
Up and up I go
Slipping and sliding
An hour later
Still four miles to the top
Weather worsening
Getting slicker
Chain laws in effect
Pulls over to chain up
Throwing iron, what I do
Getting started again
Slower and slower I go
Only in 12th
Starts to slide again
Chain comes loose
Pulling over once more
Checking on the chain
Four wheeler flying up the hill
No time to react
I go flying through the air
Landing on my back
All is black
Looking down upon my prone body
Wondering what is wrong
No sounds around
No loved ones close
In a Morgue all alone
No family comes to claim the body
State held funeral
No one shows
No one cares
Wondering what happened
Find out I was killed that fateful snowy day
Out on the Highways
That's the chance we take
When we chain up in Winter
Always having to watch our backs
Wondering if this will be the day
That I die, or live
To those who drive out west
Pay attention to those of us on the side
Of the roads throwing iron
They are an aid to help traction
Drive safe on the Highways
Give us room to stop
Highways can be safe
If we all work together
And not apart
