| chorus |
{Just an ...} old truck-stop
in the middle of nowhere |
| |
That gray weathered place called the State
Line Cafe |
| |
Stop in for some coffee, a burger or French
fries |
| |
The next place to stop is an hour away |
| |
|
1. |
Built in the twenties, survived the depression |
| |
Pouring coffee for truckers on that lonesome
blacktop |
| |
Dave bought the place to be out of the
city |
| |
Cooking hash browns and chicken for the
people who stop |
| |
|
2. |
Then crews widened the highway. They took
out the curve |
| |
Engineers said it was safer that way |
| |
Now the trucks don't have access so they
keep on rolling |
| |
On up to Wyoming past the State
Line Cafe |
| |
{Past that ...} |
| |
|
| chorus |
|
| |
|
3. |
Jackie served the last breakfast three
eggs over easy |
| |
One piece of bacon, three slices of toast |
| |
Then they threw out their dreams with
the leftover coffee |
| |
Where they're headed, nobody knows |
| |
{Left that ...} |
|
|
| chorus 2 |
Old truck-stop in the middle
of nowhere |
| |
That gray weathered place called the State
Line Cafe |
| |
You can't stop for coffee, no burger,
no French fries |
| |
Jackie and Dave closed the State Line
today |
| |
|
| coda |
Yeah, Jackie and Dave closed the State
Line today |
