The document is a story about a group of friends who get their trucks stuck in the mud after heavy rains. They work together to try and pull each other's trucks out using whatever resources they have available, including other trucks, jacks, chains, and bags of canola seeds. Although they are eventually able to free all the trucks, they may have caused environmental damage by spreading the genetically modified canola seeds. The story shows how friends can work as a team to solve problems and help each other out, but should also be mindful of their impact on the environment.
2. Freedom The truck part of the song represents power of trucks and having a truck means go and do stuff other people can’t. Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand yearsCaused financial joys and biblical fearsIt caused some smiles it caused some tearsBut more to the point of our storyFor The first time in the collective memory,That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddyBoggy and stickyWe’d pull one truck out and get another stuck inAnd motors would roar and tires would spinWe’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it againTill no one could move, we’d call one more friend,Come on out here, we need you…bring your truck
3. Power The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuckGot the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed upBut the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rutWhich eventually pulled out the FordAnd the DodgeI got me stuck in the mud, so I couldn’t rehearseAnd Chavez too has missed his workReggie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerkCourse Holtman didn’t have nothing better do to, ‘cept ranch.The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuckGot the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed upBut the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rutWhich eventually pulled out the FordWell it was truck after truck, we all got stuck‘cept the big old four by hutterite truckWe all thought “lord are we in luck!”But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us,Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly Some trucks can do what other trucks can’t, some people also choose to help people.
4. Independent We used a lot of our backs, a little of our brainsWe jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains,We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin’.We put what timber we had, underneath the wheelsAnd we was all out of sand, but managed to stealTwo sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see,That ‘oughta give us some tractionThe Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuckGot the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed upBut the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rutWhich eventually pulled out the Ford They used what ever they had to get unstuck and to help each other out. That brought them closer as friends, It also might have taught them a lesson.
5. Friendship Even though spreading the seeds helped them out they might have hurt the environment, There trucks are unstuck. We spread genetically modified canola seedThat was genetically modified for controlling the weedsAnd for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native prairie soil.Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us.
