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
