His tail-lights flickered as he pulled up to the truck stop The same old crowd was hanging out again tonite He said fill up my tank while I go check my load It feels like it's shifting all around
He was the kind of man Do all he could Above all he had integrity But he was so young And on a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl
As he went inside hew was merrily greeted By the girl with who he was in love She held out a glass and said have another This is the last time we can meet With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye That would turn any good man's blood to wine All his eyes could see, all his eyes could see Was the stares from all those around him
He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig And drove off without tightening down It was a terrible thing To see what remained of the rig that poor danny was in But he was so young On a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl But he was so young On a ten city run In love with a truck stop girl
