Flaming Gorge

Eighteen and feline lean Headed for all those places I've never seen As I hit the road with a big grin Setting out so I will win In a place, I have never been I must not be late I have a job that awaits After the interview, I pretty much knew What I would do I will be in a place where the sky is so blue With a bunch Of people, I barely knew As we get on our way they say Won't be back for twenty-five days We get paid for every hour we are awake Now I'm wondering if they aren't fake Arriving in remote places Hope I can handle these paces Up all night till morning light Didn't feel quite right As we left the job site I thought about being up all night Until the job is done The money is great but I am spun Nothing about this job was any fun Off to another place with crazy Kevin Not aware that soon I would be headed for heaven Climbing up Flamming Gorge It's easy to see why its so high When we cross the peek Everything looked so bleak As we lost the bakes No kidding this was for all the stakes Why must I pay for Kevin's mistake As I open the door when I felt The truck slide even more Side to side what a hell of a ride I'm just glad we did not turn The truck into a glide I can't hide behind I was scared To get to the bottom side When the truck stopped I popped out the door To chalk this truck so it would roll no more
