Truckstop Salvation (Jimmy Buffett) [corrected] Words and Music by Jimmy Buffett
Intro:
G G/C (repeat)
Verse 1:
Straight-laced leather-faced
He rolled in like he owned the two bit town
Dollar bills bulging from his bell bottomed jeans
The population they gathered 'round
Nothing this exciting since a fertilizer truck blew a D/G6D/G6 Front tire and landed in the creek
Everybody talkin' everybody strainin'
Tryin' to get a little peek
Chorus:
It's just the world they'll never know
Not a country fair sideshow
A reality they'll somehow never see
He's what they tried to kill
With their Bibles and their stills D/G6 D/G6 But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
Repeat Intro.
Verse 2:
Payin' for the gas he wickedly shouted thanks And continued on his journey once again Just about that time a siren fast approachin'' and The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin' Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape While a local D.J. from the fifty watt station got The whole damn thing on tape
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Intro.
Verse 3:
The holy roller preacher told the eager congregation That the devil has passed right through their nest But the teenage girls with their locks in curls were Talkin' 'bout that hair upon his chest Now the kids got their cookie while the preacher saved some souls And the story spread to everyone in sight Commotion was the word and everybody heard He was gone before the night
Repeat Chorus
