Truck stop, cigarette machines
I’m filling up with gasoline
They tell me coffee’s served here all night long
It’s about two a.m.
And I can’t remember where I’ve been
But I’m gonna crash here until dawn
And in the floorboard there’s a tattered map
And about a dozen beer bottle caps
That rattle around whenever I shift gears
And in the rearview there’s a broken man
He’s dazed, confused, without a plan
And down his face runs a long trail of tears
Big rigs firing up
And I haven’t slept enough
But I wipe the sleep from my eyes
I get myself a cup of Joe
He use to get me ready to go
Now caffeine just won’t treat me right
And in the floorboard there’s a tattered map
And about a dozen beer bottle caps
That rattle around whenever I shift gears
And in the rearview there’s a broken man
He’s dazed, confused, without a plan
And down his face runs a long trail of tears
Yes, in the floorboard there’s a tattered map
And about a dozen beer bottle caps
That rattle around whenever I shift gears
And in the rearview there’s a broken man
He’s dazed, confused, without a plan
And down his face runs a long trail of tears
