Lyrics
left a note for me with his phone number in his unsteady hand font probably wouldn't have called him even if i hadn't washed it anyway i'd see him at the restaurant and i did on new years day he came in with his daughter for breakfast he told me his love for music i only knew him as marrying two of my friends he wrote some lyrics about a lady trucker and he heard i was a singer from some friends at church and he wanted to know if he could drop them by so i could put a melody to his words and i thought, hell yeah, a lady trucker? that's right up my alley anyway i wondered would this be a rocker or just a little ditty well, either way i waited and waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited but he never came i read it in the paper he was clipped by a south bound train common home to visit his daughter two weeks ago he'd turned his keys in was someone in a hurry? is that why he was the last in line? if they'd have given him a hand with his suitcase he probably would have made it in time he wrote some lyrics about a lady trucker and he heard i was a singer from some friends at church and he wanted to know if he could drop them by so i could put a melody to his words and i thought, hell yeah, a lady trucker? that's right up my alley anyway i wondered would this be a rocker or just a little ditty well, either way i waited and waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited and i waited but he never came
