Truck Stop

Hard work's never been hard for a man who got his start on the road at sixteen
Ain't clocking time by the hours just the interstate miles and gas station caffeine
He never called it a night til she caught his eye
And gave a whole new meaning to home
Another day another town never settling down
The only way he'd ever known

Was a truck stop
Eating dinners alone
Fueling up just enough to get back on the road
Now he's got somewhere for it to go
Turn those 18 wheels north headed back home
To her blonde hair blue eyes that long kiss goodnight
And that small town 20-acre lot
That'll make a truck stop

Yeah there's a piece of him that damns that diesel for the days he'll never get back
Now the hard thing's leavin' 3 weeks since he's seen her outside of that photo on the dash
Yeah he ain't afraid to call it a day
Since she gave away her last name
From waking up to her laugh to the bunk in the back
It's anything but a fair trade

Cause a truck stop's
Eating dinners alone
Fueling up just enough to get back on the road
Now he's got somewhere for it to go
Turn those 18 wheels north headed back home
To her blonde hair blue eyes that long kiss goodnight
And that small town 20-acre lot
That'll make a truck stop

Now there's two pink lines
Who knew those kinds
Would be the ones leading him home

From a truck stop
Eating dinners alone
Fueling up just enough to get back on the road
Now he's got somewhere for it to go
Turn those 18 wheels north headed back home
He has her blonde hair blue eyes but he's still like his dad's kind
As he waives him back into the shop
That'll make a truck stop
Yeah that'll make a truck stop

Hard work's never been hard for a man who got his start on the road at sixteen
