Jack Knife Video (MV)

I left Seattle and I was runnin' late it was rainin' rainin' rainin' cats and dogs

Well that road was slick and full of little tricks like a walkin' on a slick hickory log

I had five axles in a while Mustang I was pullin' seventy thousands on behind

As I rolled her out of town to turn Fort Lynn around

I built a fire and I let her unwind

Blindin' lights rainy nights jack knife

[ guitar ]

Well I made that mountain went over the top and I rolled down all the way

I went into a kerb that took a lotta nerve as I left that mountain sway

As that tandem shuttered then settled on down I heard an airhold snap

Well there was no doubt I had to write her on out or let her jack knife in my lap

Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife

[ guitar ]

There's a lot of operators who can tell you how a runaway rig can kill

So I said me a prayer and then I hit the air and let her jack knife off of that hill

Well I crawled out of that pile of junk then I walked away with a smile

But I got out with my life but a mean jack knife put me a walkin' for a while

Blindin' lights and rainy nights jack knife
