Terry Allen - Night Cafe lyrics

Yeah the truck drivin man He gonna understand When he pulls into the night cafe He gonna walk right in Where there's too many men Wantin hamburgers right away When he finally finds a booth He calls to waitress "Ruth" He says "Gimme the special ah the day" Hot beef Yeah but Ruth gets goosed At the opposite booth An she runs off the other way But he don抰 care cause... Chorus: That old jukebox is playing his love song An the coffee is hot ... In the cup And there's a light in the night That spells 'Cafe' Where the big trucks are all ... pullin up Yeah truck drivin man He got a mouth full of sin But his heart looks the other way An though they hot-eye Ruth Well they know the truth Is 憇weet galdown the way So they cuss an they grin They fill their thermos again And they listen to the music Play They got a heavy load Waitin out on the road An a home still two days away But they can wait for it Cause... Chorus Yeah the truck drivin man He gonna understand When he leaves that night cafe He gonna dance a jig Out beside his rig Just to shake the cold away He gonna slam the door An let the diesel roar Down the dark highway But he has no fears While he's shiftin gears To that next ... night cafe Cause he knows glowin there Like a diamond in the tar pit Chorus
