Sing it to: Take It Easy – The Eagles
Driver’s runnin’ down the road Tryin’ to deliver my load I’ve got five loads on my mind Four deliver Monday Dispatch wanna stone me One says it’s a load of wine Supply chain’s easy Supply chain’s easy Don’t let the lack of trucking seals Drive you crazy Write it up the best you can Even if they don’t understand Find a place to get what you can And supply chain’s easy Well, load’s stranded at the border Somewhere in Arizona And such a fine I shall see It’s customs, my lord Holding a clipboard Comin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, lady Don’t say maybe I gotta know your approval Is gonna save me
I may lose or I may win I promise I’ll never be here again So open up, I’m comin’ in And supply chain’s easy Driver's runnin’ down the road Tryin’ to deliver my load Got a world of trouble on my mind Lookin’ for a broker Who isn’t a joker It’s so hard to find Supply chain’s easy Supply chain’s easy Don’t let the lack of trucking seals Drive you crazy Come on lady Don’t say maybe I gotta know your approval Is gonna save me
