Truck Stop Girl

The Byrds

4

His tail lights flickering as he pulled up to the truck stop

The same old crowd was hanging out again tonight

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 he was memorily greeted

By the girl with whom 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 these 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

He was young and on a ten city run

In love with a truck stop girl
