lyrics

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

I went to drive on the Trans Canada Highway
At the end of December when it’s 20 below
Strapped on my brand new winter tires
When all of a sudden it started to snow

I managed to make it all the way back home
Before the blizzard got really bad
But when I went to go back to town the next morning
I realized just how much snow we’d had

I opened the front door of my parent’s house
And the snowfall was piled right up to my eyes
Gonna take at least three hours to shovel my
Way out of here before I can even drive

I got through it and warmed up my car
Then drove down the road towards the TCH
Only to find that in the white out conditions
Not a thing had been plowed since yesterday

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no plow

I guess this was one thing they decided to cut
In the Newfoundland Budget 2016
Plows aren’t deemed as a necessity
For the island to function smooth and clean

The snow on the highway is higher than my car
I’m stranded ‘round the bay with nowhere to go
I’m supposed to be at work by quarter to two
And now I’m gonna have to call in sick, oh no

Missed another day, that’s eight hours gone
Docked $80 from next week’s check
All because the plows didn’t run on time
Jesus this province is turning into a wreck

Then I heard on fadder’s radio this morning
That the ambulances can’t even access St. John’s
If buddy on board don’t get to the Health-Science
It’s just as well to say that he’s gonna be gone

Say goodbye to all semblance of decency
If you can’t plow the roads we’re in a state of emergency

Say goodbye to all semblance of decency
If you can’t plow the roads we’re in a state of emergency
