5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Pit Stop lyrics

rate me

(stephen b. antonakos)<br><br>I've been driving fourteen hours<br>I could use some company<br>But lipstick kiss and faded flowers<br>Is all she left for me<br>I met her in a diner, asked her what her name was<br>Asked her if she'd like to see my rig and she laughed<br>She tossed the red carnation underneath the front seat<br>Tried to say she's not that kind of girl but she was<br>She wants to settle down, she knows a trucker never does<br><br>Just another truck stop angel<br>Sent down the highway from above<br>Just another pit stop on the speedway of love<br><br>I went down to the racetrack<br>I entered the second heat<br>They said the red car out there was the one to beat<br>I made it to the finals, the red car right behind me<br>Passed me just before the checkered flag and I lost<br>The girl who kissed the winner asked me if I would meet her<br>Under the bandstand down by the finish line and then<br>Later in her trailer I crossed that line time and time again<br><br>Chorus<br><br>See the headlights gleaming<br>Hear the engines roar<br>From my eyes the tears are streaming<br>Falling to the floor<br>The road ahead is just a blur I slow down and pull over<br>I think of all the women I have found and forgot<br>Some girls like movie stars, sad songs on the radio<br>Some girls like the smell of gasoline and exhaust<br>For every chance I take there's another I have lost<br><br>Chorus
