[Verse 1: Punjabi bhangra male lead, huge belted, loud dhol drums] Twenty years behind the wheel from Yuba City to the coast Eighteen wheels and one long highway, it's the road I love the most Every night inside the cab I sing until the windows shake Every trucker on the CB says, hey Preet, give us a break Tonight I'm haulin' all the stage, the lights, the speakers and the rig For the biggest mela in the valley, twenty thousand at the gig [Pre-Chorus: Punjabi bhangra male lead, belted, hard kick and snare] Back it to the loadin' dock and let the ramp down slow Everything you need tonight is ridin' in my load [Chorus: Punjabi bhangra male lead, huge belted bhangra vocal, loud dhol drums] I bring the whole show in the back Balle balle, hoye, every light and every rack Eighteen wheels and a dhol up in the pack I bring the whole show in the back [Verse 2: Punjabi bhangra male lead, harder, heavy bass] Seven o'clock, the promoter's runnin' pale across the lot Says the headliner is grounded and the crowd is gettin' hot Twenty thousand in the field and every auntie in a chair And a stage with nobody on it and a microphone up there Then a trucker on the CB says, hey Preet, you know the words Every song your father sang you, every song the valley heard [Pre-Chorus: Punjabi bhangra male lead, belted, hard kick and snare] Back it to the loadin' dock and let the ramp down slow Everything you need tonight is ridin' in my load [Chorus: Punjabi bhangra male lead, huge belted bhangra vocal, loud dhol drums] I bring the whole show in the back Balle balle, hoye, every light and every rack Eighteen wheels and a dhol up in the pack I bring the whole show in the back [Bridge: Punjabi bhangra male lead, dhol-guitar lockstep, loud dhol drums] Hat off, boots up on the ramp, I climb the stage I bolted down Twenty years I sang it to the dashboard, now I sing it to the town First line out, the aunties stand, the second line the boys go wild Third line, the whole field's jumpin', every child Hoye, hoye, the valley's on its feet Hoye, hoye, the dhol and me in one beat [Final Chorus: Punjabi bhangra male lead, huge belted bhangra vocal, loud dhol drums] I bring the whole show in the back Balle balle, hoye, every light and every rack Eighteen wheels and a dhol up in the pack I bring the whole show in the back [Outro: Punjabi bhangra male lead, belted, loud dhol drums] Two a.m. I pack the rig and drive it out alone Every song still in the trailer and I'm singin' it home [End]
