Song: Truckstop Diaries
G C D G
G
Sittin here wishin and thinkin and prayin
C
Wonderin what them folks are sayin
G D
‘Bout me and what I’m doin here
G
Yeah they’re lookin like I’m gonna steal their stuff
C
Well Brother I tell you I got enough
G D G
Just a bag o’clothes a tent and a case of beer
G
Well this one ol' boy looks like a roadie from Skynrd
C
Suckin down his chickin dinner
G D
He’s got a rebel flag right there on his grill
G
And there’s another one I swear looks just like Hank
C
Stopped in here to gas his tank
G D G
Buy a pack of smokes and pop a couple pills
Chorus
C G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
D G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
C G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got visa
D G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
C D G
G
Yeah northbound cattle wagon with neon lights
C
Driven by a man you couldn’t pay me to fight
G D
I swear Ive never seen a zombie until now
G
Lord he looks like he’s been up for days
C
Swervin through the asphalt haze
G D G
And right now id be nervous if I was a cow
G
And this one ol' woman with a wagon full o kids
C
She looked like she just hit the skids
G D
She left his ass this time she ain’t goin back
G
Yeah she gonna drop the children off at mama’s
C
She already got ‘em in their pajamas
G D G
And a sugar daddy waitin in a Cadillac
Chorus
C G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
D G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
C G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got visa
D G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
C D G
G
This one ol' boy stopped to use the phone
C
To tell his woman he’d soon be home
G D
If the highway patrol would let him put the hammer down
G
And he asked if his huntin dogs were alright
C
And he just might make it home tonight
G D G
The CB says its clear for four more towns
G
Well I been sittin here four or five hours
C
I blew a rod doin sixty miles an hour
G D
Seems like Detroit ain’t makin ‘em like they did
G
I’m glad there’s all this shit to see
C
Cuz if it weren’t for them it’d just be me
G D G
And I do believe I'da gone and flipped my lid
Chorus
C G
Who needs TV when you got a truck stop
D G
Who needs movies when you’ve got the road
C G
Who needs MasterCard hell you got visa
D G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
D G
And who needs to fix it if it ain’t broke
C D G
