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