[Verse 1: Stoner-rock male lead, slow and heavy over the groove] Five a.m. at the Lindqvist place Orange flag and a sign on my face OVERSIZE LOAD in a yellow frame And a two-story house with a family name They jacked it off the stone, they put it on a bed Ninety miles to the new lot, Walt said "I ain't leaving her, son, I was born in that room" So the house is coming too, and it's leaving at noon [Chorus: Stoner-rock male lead] Wide load, wide load, get your ass off the road I got a whole house behind me and a hundred tons of load Twenty miles an hour and a mile of you behind Wide load, wide load, the whole damn home is coming through [Verse 2: Stoner-rock male lead, riffs heavier, every line dragged] Truckers on the radio calling me a name Minivan honking like it's my fault, man, the same Cop with his lights on, sitting on the hood Says "you got a permit?" and I say "yeah, it's good" Look in my mirror and I see the kitchen glass Walt and June at the table while the cornfields pass Gin rummy, coffee, and a radio on Living in a house that is moving along [Chorus: Stoner-rock male lead] Wide load, wide load, get your ass off the road I got a whole house behind me and a hundred tons of load Twenty miles an hour and a mile of you behind Wide load, wide load, the whole damn home is coming through [Bridge: Stoner-rock male lead, power-line clearance, guitars scrape low under every line] Wire on the left side hanging way too low Get up on the roof with the pole, nice and slow Lift it up, lift it up, let the chimney pass Lift it up, lift it up, now we're under the last [Guitar Break: stoner-rock riff, heavy and wide] [Verse 3: Stoner-rock male lead, the groove at full weight] Sundown and we're crawling up the gravel to the lot June steps out on the stairs of the only place they got Same door, same front light, same crack in the hall Same picture of her mother, still hanging on the wall Walt says "son, you drove us home," I say "you never left" He says "that's the whole point," and he lights a cigarette I pull the flag off the pickup, and I take the sign down slow And the house sits on the hill like it never had to go [Chorus: Stoner-rock male lead] Wide load, wide load, get your ass off the road I got a whole house behind me and a hundred tons of load Twenty miles an hour and a mile of you behind Wide load, wide load, the whole damn home is coming through [End]
