letra de truckstop souvenirs - royce johns

daddy spent five out of seven days
chasing a dollar down the interstate
so mom could stay home and raise us kids
every night that phone would ring
catch him up on everything
like where we went with who and what we did
every friday night he’d pull into the drive
now and then he’d bring a surprise

like a snow globe from niagara falls
a little toy train from saginaw
an elvis clock with crazy dancing legs
matchbox nascar number 3
cowboy hat from tennessee
yeah even though he wasn’t always here
his love was always near
with truckstop souvenirs

wеll he towed home an old chеvy truck
said son you and me can fix her up
let’s get a little grease in our hands
we tore that old rust bucket apart
till i knew every nut and bolt by heart
but more than that i got to know the man
after two long years she was ready for her first drive
so we dressed her up, tricked her out in style
with a big 8 ball for shifting gears
fuzzy dice for the rear-view mirror
and mudflaps with a naked silver girl
a bottle-head doll in a hula skirt
more chrome than that truck was worth
man you can’t put a price on those years
what he gave was his mud sweat and tears
and truckstop souvenirs

now there’s a million miles of memories in this rear-view mirror
and sometimes the road before me ain’t always clear
but i know my daddy’s here to help me steer
he’s always near
with truckstop souvenirs
