The Byrds Truck Stop Girl written by Lowell George/Bill Payne
Record in key of Ab
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
G/f#
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
C G^?
This is the last time we can meet
G/f#
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
G/f#
He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig
And drive off without tightening down
G/f#
It was a terrible thing to see what remained
Of that rig that poor Danny was in
He was young and on a ten city run in love with a truck stop girl
