歌词
I took a job on the interstate
Late night third shift, really low pay
I was hired to greet the out of towners
Some on uppers, some on downers
Trying help them on their way
I got a boss but you'd never know
I'm the only one here that runs this show
I sell jerky and gasoline, fixed a broke down slurpy machine
Moped these dingy floors until they glow
That's my job, at the truck stop
I take money, I make change
Smile and send them on their way
It ain't a life of fortune, fame and glory
But I shook the hand of Johnny Cash
Just a week before he passed,
Passing on his way to Montgomery
I ain't got much
But I got stories
From ten at night to five a.m.
You never know who's gonna come in
Touring bands, old and new
Politicians and prostitutes,
Heaven only knows where the hell they've been
We got Aerosmith and Red Slovien
The discount bends two ninety-nine
Ice cold beer and dvd's, everything a traveler needs
To get 'em on down the line
That's my job, at the truck stop
I take money, I make change
Smile and send them on their way
It ain't a life of fortune, fame and glory
But I shook the hand of Johnny Cash
Just a week before he passed
Passing on his way to Montgomery
I ain't got much
But I got stories
Yeah I took a job on the interstate
Late night third shift really low pay
