Yellowhead Highway, that is my run
I drive a big Freightliner and my work ainât ever done
I load âem up and go, unload, load, load and back again
Back and forth that is my course, this run donât ever end
Chorus:
Winnipeg to Edmonton
Edmonton to Winnipeg
Either side of Saskatoon that is the longest leg
Eight-hundred-thirteen miles sheâs my prairie girl
The longest stretch of road in the world
I drove her in the Wintertime at thirty-eight below
I couldnât see the road ahead for all the drifting snow
Frozen axle, B-Train, icicles on the door
And even I ainât ever seen nothinâ like that before
Chorus
The prairies are my backyard, my homeâs a sleeper cab
The blue sky is a friend of mine, you know it ainât that bad
Here comes another trucker, hey look itâs Whiskey Jack!
Blow the air horn three times and Iâll see him cominâ back
Chorus
Instrumental
Someday Iâll own a ranch out here on the plains
Iâll get a herd of cattle and Iâll brand them with my name
Iâll build myself a home down by the highway side
Where I can hear the big rigs when theyâre rollinâ by
Chorus
