Yeah,
Huh,
(Truck stop, truck stop, truck stop),
Let off the gas a little bit,
(Truck stop),
Get some beer and smokes,
(Truck stop),
Let's go to the big ol',
(Truck stop),

On the side of the road on the interstate (ooh!),
You can have some chili fries while your truck gets weighed (ooh!),
Play pool or throw some darts if you wanna stay,
"Cuz every once in a while, drivers need a break,

Truck stop,
It is always great,
When you've been driving since eight, you just cannot wait,
You can order some rations, a beer and pretzel sticks,
You can start fights with the guys and try to impress the chicks,
I always told myself I would never be late,
But I've got 500 miles and only 4 hours on my plate,
From Detroit to Texas,
Texas to Detroit,
They can wait, what's the point?
So they'd go in the back and pack my big ol' truck,
And leave it to me, in traffic, to get stuck,
When I was 12 years old, I wanted to be a lawyer,
But the only time I was in college, I was delivering to the foyer,
I worked at UPS, but I didn't like their pay,
So I bought me a truck and I'm making my own way,
I'm at the truck stop,
Now and then,
Yo, Big Boy, start the engine,

Truck stop, truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,

On the side of the road on the interstate (ooh!),
You can have some chili fries while your truck gets weighed (ooh!),
Play pool or throw some darts if you wanna stay,
"Cuz every once in a while, drivers need a break,

From the used truck shop to a retirement fund,
It's just years and years of running errands,
Driving from Seattle to eastern Melbourne,
Delivering cans of soup and sweet corn,
And, hell yeah, I live in my truck,
I'm crossing the country to just make a buck,
And in the business, I am not the best,
Staying awake for too long is not a skill I've been blessed,
With, it was a mess,
27 car pile up,
Insurance started to rise, man, I couldn't pay my guys,
Yes, I get distracted but I'll be fine,
As long as I stay on this side of the white line,
To crash? Sometimes you don't have a say,
From the pile up in Reno to the crash in LA,
So every once and a while, on some occasions,
I have to pull off the road to restore my patience,
Relax, throw some darts or play some pool,
It's always nice and cool,

Truck stop, truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,

On the side of the road on the interstate (ooh!),
You can have some chili fries while your truck gets weighed (ooh!),
Play pool or throw some darts if you wanna stay,
"Cuz every once in a while, drivers need a break,

Man, I thought I was supposed to be truck stop, truck stop,
I'd rather be down at the pawn shop, pawn shop,
Or crossing the country writing hip hop, hip hop,
Working at a hotel in Vegas as a bellhop,
Not much I can do, my salary so meager,
So ever since passing Atlanta, I've been so eager,
I would swoon and sing,
Which, when you're driving, is not a good thing,
Something about the atmosphere,
The smoky air and stench of beer,
Other people angry "cuz I'm lost in thought,
And attention on the road is the last thing I've got,
I used to have a theory, always keep a full tank of gas,
That was until, of course, the price got blast,
So each person who I walk by who sees me,
May look contempt but, inside, I know they want to be me,
What am I supposed to do my time's almost gone,
And I'm stuck in traffic with my high heels on?
Now, back to what my full gas tank theory was,
I'm almost broke, I can't afford to buy gas by the month,
But my truck's diesel, zoom! Probably the o-zone's nightmare car,
Especially when I'm going on trips even half this far,
But I'm off the road, why am I having fun?
It's "cuz I'm trying to get a drink but I can't afford one,
This dude looks rich beyond my dreams but I guess looks aren't what they seem,
Because when I went and talked to the guy he begged,
For me to buy his truck, it wouldn't be an arm and leg,
Now I imagined the circumstances but it made me crazy,
And psychotic, man, I got retarded, I just bought it,
Man, and it was empty the night I got stopped in it,
What is this, man, I thought this was supposed to be,

Truck stop, truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,
Truck stop,

On the side of the road on the interstate (ooh!),
You can have some chili fries while your truck gets weighed (ooh!),
Play pool or throw some darts if you wanna stay,
"Cuz every once in a while, drivers need a break.
