5 Chinese Brothers - Pit Stop Lyrics
(stephen b. antonakos)Ive been driving fourteen hoursI could use some companyBut lipstick kiss and faded flowersIs all she left for meI met her in a diner, asked her what her name wasAsked her if shed like to see my rig and she laughedShe tossed the red carnation underneath the front seatTried to say shes not that kind of girl but she wasShe wants to settle down, she knows a trucker never doesJust another truck stop angelSent down the highway from aboveJust another pit stop on the speedway of loveI went down to the racetrackI entered the second heatThey said the red car out there was the one to beatI made it to the finals, the red car right behind mePassed me just before the checkered flag and I lostThe girl who kissed the winner asked me if I would meet herUnder the bandstand down by the finish line and thenLater in her trailer I crossed that line time and time againChorusSee the headlights gleamingHear the engines roarFrom my eyes the tears are streamingFalling to the floorThe road ahead is just a blur I slow down and pull overI think of all the women I have found and forgotSome girls like movie stars, sad songs on the radioSome girls like the smell of gasoline and exhaustFor every chance I take theres another I have lostChorus
