Chorus:
G+G C majorC
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck,
D MajorD G+G

That old brown prairie that had been so dry
G+G C majorC D MajorD
For so long, was very muddy, boggy, sticky,

We'd pull one truck out and get another stuck in,
D MajorD
And motors would roar and tires would spin,
G+G C majorC
We'd sink right down, down to the diff,
D MajorD
We'd all take turns and do it again,
G+G C majorC
'Til no one could move we call one more friend,
D MajorD
Come on out here we need ya, bring yer truck
|G+G C majorC |D MajorD |
