This is another one from 'Waiting in the Wings' album. I sent this as a rough blues-style tune to Donna and she came back with a great lyric. I'd never have come up with a lyric like this and if translated to UK it would be 'Baby at the Transport Cafe' which I think you'll agree sounds lame! The RealTracks and style I used are listed at the end. I added my own piano, I played the guitar solo and then I added my VST resonator links plus some Shimmer, Shake, Strike VST percussion. Oh and occasional extra cymbals from Addictive Drums.

Here's Donna's lyric:

Honey at the Truck Stop
Music & Lyrics © Tony Cliff and Donna Evans 2018

Verse 1
Twenty two, feeling blue
Working like mama used to
Slingin’ coffee eggs and bacon
Driver’s breakfast waitin’
Some joke with good tips
Or nasty talk loose lips
One guy’s her desire
‘Cos he ignites her fire

Chorus
She’s his honey at the truck stop
Who wants to be by his side
Yeh the honey at the truck stop
Can’t wait to be his bride

Verse 2
Thinks about her all the time
On deliv’ries the daily grind
Can’t wait to see his best girl
The one that turns his world
Blonde hair and so flashy
Tight jeans dressin’ sassy
He’ll spend an extra day
For a little getaway

Chorus

Bridge
This small town she knows
No place to shine or go
She dreams bright stage lights
Exciting marquee nights
Drivin’ trucks for years
Was stuck in second gear
Now he’s inspired
To drive all those miles

Verse 3
He thinks about settlin’ down
In her backwoods town
Maybe boring ev’ryday
But love makes it OK
She wants to spread her wings
Even if she wears his ring
He’s her ticket to ride
And she’s flying high

Chorus
