Verse 1] Alarm goes off ‘fore the sun comes up Steel toe boots and a coffee cup Phone starts buzzin’, yeah the day’s begun Another crew needs a fast run Traffic lights and a city wake Got a full day ridin’ on what I take They’re on the job, I’m in the lane Keepin’ their money from goin’ down the drain [Pre-Chorus] They don’t leave, they don’t go I hit the road, pedal low [Chorus] You stay billable—I’ll run the road Pick up the parts, deliver the load From the shop to the site, rain or shine Save you hours, save you time Gopher Gus, yeah you know the name Fast lane runs, that’s the game You stay billable—I’ll do the drive That’s how we both stay alive ⸻ [Verse 2] Line’s too long at the supplier door Clock keeps tickin’, they can’t wait no more “Hey Gus, can you grab this quick?” “I got you covered”—I’m already in it Sliding doors and a loaded van Another stop, stick to the plan From north side down to the Whitemud line Every run’s another saved dime [Pre-Chorus] They don’t stall, they don’t wait I hit the gas, I accelerate [Chorus] You stay billable—I’ll run the road Pick up the parts, deliver the load From RSL SOUTH to Wolseley north way cross the town I keep the whole job rollin’ now Gopher Gus, yeah I’m on the move Blue and orange with something to prove 78oh 22oh 33 64 78oh 22oh 33 64 You stay billable—I’ll do the drive That’s how we both stay alive ⸻ [Bridge] I ain’t swingin’ no hammer or pipe But I keep that job movin’ all night Every minute you don’t lose Is another dollar you get to use ⸻ [Final Chorus] You stay billable—I’ll run the road Pick up the parts, deliver the load Through the cold, through the heat, through the grind I’m the time you didn’t lose behind Gopher Gus—I don’t slow down From St. Albert to the edge of town You stay billable—I’ll do the drive That’s how we both stay alive ⸻ [Outro] Same boots, same van, same way Running parts every single day If you need it done, just say the word… Gopher Gus got it covered 78oh 22oh 33 64
