Bill Payne, Lowell George



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
