This is about a man who is fed up working in the oil sands and decides to head south and take a gamble on being a travelling musician.

lyrics

Well I finally got her back gonna kick it in gear.
Locked and loaded got the bass and tweeters pumpin out the rear
this '89 Chevy is purring right
There's a block heater sitting by the dashboard light
A hundred miles pluggin through that oil sand pouch
I got Fort Mac in the back and I'm a headin' South

Gave my boss a verbal notice and handed in my drill
Dusted off my overalls got my cash from the till
He's been givin me hell since I can't forget
That wishing well whipped me through a lot of regrets
Still thawing my fingers from the early the freeze
It's minus 40 in the sunshine with the summer breeze

Chorus
Lookin for kicks wherever I'm bound
Scratchin at the door like a rabid hound
Rubber squealin, diesel burnin
I'm a dust cyclone
Stir crazy baby never comin home

Got money in my pocket a trunk full of dreams
This time I'll get my ends no matter the means
I got an old six string, it plays real loud
So set 'em up Joe I got a hungry crowd
I got 12 bars of blues I gotta play tonight
Line em up ladies if you wanna bite

Chorus

Living off drive throughs motel rooms and parking lots
