The song describes the life of a lumberjack. It talks about growing up on a farm in Iowa but hearing the call of the Oregon timber and becoming a lumberjack. It describes some of the dangers of being a lumberjack, like not cutting timber during windy days or periods of low moisture. It also discusses the long hours working in the woods from morning to night, going to town on Saturdays, and ending up broke on Sundays. The chorus has the singer asking a lumberjack for information about logging signals but being told to ask a whistle punk instead.
