The Guess Who - Truckin' off Across the Sky

Come on

Get on board
The Reaper wants to take y'all for a ride
Baby, get on board
Reaper wants to take y'all for a ride
His private train is leavin'
To slip you to the other side
Got all kinds of illicit stimulants

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get y'all high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby, goin' truckin' off across the sky

Now if you feel like a disaster when you wake up in the mornin'
Nothin' but a goddamn monkey wrench inside your head
Got some things to make you go faster, others make you go slower
Open your eyes, take a drop, take away the red
What has he got?

He's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get y'all high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby, goin' truckin' off across the sky

There'll be entertainment on the train
Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Jeannie C. Reilly, Conway Twitty
Miss America's gonna come out of a sixty foot cake covered with icing
And the boys will be invited up to lick it off
Everybody'll have a good time
Old man Reaper's gonna get you on the train

Come on everybody, he's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots of stuff to get y'all high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby, goin' truckin' off across the sky

Come on, he's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots o' shit to get y'all high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby, goin' truckin' off across the sky

One more, he's got cocaine and morphine too
Lots o' stuff to get y'all high, high, high, high
Little pink pills in a big brown bag
Truckin' off across the sky
Baby, goin' truckin' off across the sky

He's goin' truckin' off across the sky
He's goin' truckin' off the sky
He's goin' sailin' off across the sky
Sailin', sailin', over the bounding main
