Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Verse 1:

Big beard catching the morning breeze

Wild hair tucked under a hat stained with grease

Twenty-four years, but my bones feel old

Trailer loaded down with power poles

Pre-Chorus:

Every mile takes me far away

From the porch where she waits each day

Chorus:

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Dreaming of the day I make my track

Set the poles down, I’ll be the man

Unloader’s job, that’s my plan

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Rolling poles, keeping on track

Every week away from home I stay

But I’ll make my check and come back Friday

Verse 2:

Got the wisdom from the dotted line

Watching hawks circle above the pine

Don’t say much when I’m at the yard

Eyes on that big claw, working hard

Pre-Chorus:

Every mile takes me far away

From the porch where she waits each day

Chorus:

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Dreaming of the day I make my track

Set the poles down, I’ll be the man

Unloader’s job, that’s my plan

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Rolling poles, keeping on track

Every week away from home I stay

But I’ll make my check and come back Friday

Bridge:

A man gets tired of shifting gears

And the wind that makes it tough to steer

I want to plant my feet and rest

And not have to look at a GPS

Chorus (Big Finish):

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Dreaming of the day I make my track

Set the poles down, I’ll be the man

Unloader’s job, that’s my plan

I’m an Otto Transfer Lumberjack

Rolling poles, keeping on track

Every week away from home I stay

But I’ll make my check and come back Friday

Outro:

Just me and my big ole beard

Rolling down the big road out here

Otto Transfer… Lumberjack
