Truckstop Diaries

Sitting here wishing and thinking and praying

Wondering what them folks are saying

About me and what I'm doing here

Yeah they're looking like I'm gonna steal their stuff

Brother I tell you I got enough

Just a bag of clothes a tent and a case of beer

This one old boy looks like a roadie from Skynrd

Sucking down his chicken dinner

He's got a rebel flag right there on his grill

And there's another one I swear looks just like Hank

Stopped in here to gas his tank

Buy a pack of smokes and pop a couple pills

Chorus

Who needs TV when you got a truck stop

Who needs movies when you've got the road

Who needs MasterCard hell you got a visa

And who needs to fix it if it ain't broke

Yeah northbound Cadillac neon lights

Driven by a man you couldn't pay me to fight

I swear I've never seen a zombie until now

Lord he looks like he's been up for days

Swerving through the asphalt haze

And right now id be nervous if I was a cow

And this one old woman with a wagon full o kids

She looked like she just hit the skids

She left his ass this time she ain't going back

Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama's

She already got them in their pajamas

And a sugar daddy waiting in a Cadillac

Chorus

This one old boy stopped to use the phone

To tell his woman he'd soon be home

If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down

And he asked if his hunting dogs were alright

And he just might make it home tonight

The CB says it's clear for four more towns

Well I been sitting here four or five hours

I blew a rod doing sixty miles an hour

Seems like Detroit ain't making them like they did

I'm glad there's all this stuff to see

If it weren't for them it'd just be me

And I do believe I would've flipped my lid

Chorus
