Different kind of team
I got a call here a while back
from some place they said was the “pole”
they was lookin’ for fellers with teamster skills
that hadn’t quit teams for tractors and lost their soul
I ‘told ‘em “yeah I can drive
two on up to a bunch, I’d have to confess
Tho’ I ain’t been doin it now for the past few years
but, like ridin’ a bike you don’t ever forget I’d guess”
I asked ‘em how much the pay would be
‘cause ranchin’ ain’t been payin all that much
And if they supplied board and bed and health
and maybe some beef and travel expenses and such
They told me what the job would be
I’d only have to work just one night a year
They’d pay all the freight, both back and forth
But I’d have to be able to drive some high powered kind’a deer
Thats when I told ‘em, heck no!
I’d drive Belgians or Percherons of course
But I sure as hell wasn’t gonn’a drive no dang deer
I’d got into some terrible wrecks, just tryin’ to drive a horse
And them deer gott’a be way wilder than horses
You’ve probably heard, ain’t nuthin’ runs like a deer
My ‘ol broke team is bad enough, after six months of rest
Can you imagine, a team of eight, and only drove just once a year! :shock:
