[Trucker:} «Hey kid, you looking for a lift?
Get on up here
How’s it going good buddy?»
I nailed ducks to the wall
Kept my heart in dark ruins
I built bungalows over the hills
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
Took my girl to the country
To sleep out under the moon
Next thing she’s going crazy
[Trucker:] «Women are like that kid
What the hell can you do?»
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
Gently removing her heart
With his promises of real communication
[Trucker:] «I saw a program about that on TV, heh»
Who’s always picking up the tab
Who built a bungalow for his momma and dad
Me…..
Who took you out to all the shows
Who worked his fingers to the bone
Me….
While you were asleep
[Jade:] «It was me…I did!»
I kept you in buttons and bows
[Jade:] «Christ! All those clothes!
So you could encourage this creep
[Hick:] «With that program
I bet some son of a bitch made a million dollars.»
With his neat feet
And his clean fingernails
With his wise but twinkling eyes
He’s a rock standing out in an ocean of doubt
[Trucker:] «Get movin’, get off the road ya Goddam faggot.»
And compromise
I’d like to go on with this bit of a song
Describing this schmuck
I’d like to go on, but I’m going to throw up
[Trucker:] «Not in my rig you don’t boy
Get the hell out of here.
