The Byrds - Truck Stop Girl Written by Lowell George/Bill Payne Capo 1 to match recording. His tail lights flickered 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 to  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 merrily 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 Were the stares from all those around him He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig And drive 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                Copyright @ 1970 Abraham Music(ASCAP)                From the "Untitled" LP Columbia Records 1970 Recording in the Key of Ab

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un jeune homme qui s'arrête dans une aire de repos pour routiers, où il retrouve la femme qu'il aime. Alors qu'il fait le plein de son camion, il se laisse séduire par sa beauté et la tendresse de leur rencontre. Malheureusement, son empressement à repartir l'empêche de sécuriser correctement sa cargaison, ce qui entraîne un tragique accident. Ce récit met en lumière l'intensité des sentiments amoureux, mais aussi la fragilité de la vie. Une belle réflexion sur le fait que, parfois, la passion peut avoir des conséquences dramatiques.
