Out West (Original Direct Transport Bitter Mix)

from D​-​Sides (Love, Hate & Space Songs) by Davē Noël Black

lyrics

I had this job, it kind of sucked
life in Alberta, it’s pretty rough
if you’re not with them
you’re out of luck
so hit the oilfield - and buy a truck

our incomes are wasted
on nose jobs and facelifts
it’s kind of hard to keep your head, out west

chase that money, forget you’re stuck
there’s so much more here
than getting fucked
go get some cocaine to fix that rust
suck your own dick don’t
be a slut

our tax dollars wasted
on credit card payments
it’s pretty hard to keep your head,
out west

live in their truck, I’m getting fat
dining on assholes, a major stack
my trainer Pierre Martin
the trucker cliché
he was a french man thin
he’s making us drive really slow
through small towns and school zones
stop being a creepy, greedy old man
just drive the truck!

a sour well site, we’re all alone
I turned my back and bob was prone
to playing tricks, I surely hope
this cloud of nitrogen must be a fat man joke
400 pound biker, passed out behind my trailer
go find a bar, and dial stars, I shit a brick.
(at Union Carbide)

location unknown, upwind with my cell-phone
he gets up, cowboy didn’t know I cared so much
but that’s just Direct Transport
some jobs are like toilet paper
you keep it long enough to wipe your rear
and it’s not hard to wipe your ass, out west

Temptations massage, let’s give ‘em a call
ask for some takeout of sleazy bar
New City Suburbs they had to move
their bouncers’ haircut
their reputation bruised
cash dollars hazy
this Edmonton oil plagues me
It’s kinda hard to keep your head, out west
