Ghost of Rogers Pass

September 24, 2024 at 9:36 PMv3.5

*(Verse 1)* Seventeen and wide-eyed, drivin' solo in the snow Through the Rockies, climbin' high where the brave ones never go Farm boy from Saskatchewan, truckin' bales and grain But these mountains, Lord, were somethin' else, felt like I was goin' insane *(Pre-Chorus)* Spinnin' out on that incline, stuck and all alone No clue how I’d get outta there, just me and my old rig’s moan *(Chorus)* Then came a voice through the CB static, smooth as a rollin' breeze "Let’s get those chains on, son," like he'd done this with ease Step by step he guided me, while the storm raged loud and wild I pulled over at the top, but he was gone like a ghost’s own smile No wind, no sound from his rig at all Just the ghost of Rogers Pass, answerin' the call *(Verse 2)* I thanked him over the CB, but he was already far ahead Didn’t feel the wind, didn’t hear no wheels, just the howlin' storm instead Got to my stop, asked dispatch ’bout that drivin' man But they swore they never had a soul with that name in their clan *(Pre-Chorus)* So was he a spirit, an angel, or just a mystery? That stranger saved my life that night, but no one could believe *(Chorus)* Then came a voice through the CB static, smooth as a rollin' breeze "Let’s get those chains on, son," like he'd done this with ease Step by step he guided me, while the storm raged loud and wild I pulled over at the top, but he was gone like a ghost’s own smile No wind, no sound from his rig at all Just the ghost of Rogers Pass, answerin' the call *(Bridge)* Now every time I hit that pass, when the snow comes fallin' down I remember that voice on the radio, from a man never found Was it fate, was it luck, or somethin' more divine? Guess I’ll never know, but that night he saved this life of mine *(Chorus)* Then came a voice through the CB static, smooth as a rollin' breeze "Let’s get those chains on, son," like he'd done this with ease Step by step he guided me, while the storm raged loud and wild I pulled over at the top, but he was gone like a ghost’s own smile No wind, no sound from his rig at all Just the ghost of Rogers Pass, answerin' the call *(Outro)* Yeah, the ghost of Rogers Pass, answerin' the call...
