lyrics

Truckstop jukebox

Seventeen years old in my favourite record store, trying to find me something that I’d never heard before,
Flicking through the sleeves of all those dusty old LP’s until I found your eyes staring back at me

Left leg across your right knee, one hand raised to your chin, cowboy hat resting on the back of the chair you’re sitting in
Eyes that look right through me, seem to reach into my soul, like I’d known you from days of old

Chorus
On a jukebox in a roadhouse on a highway in the sky
Your voice will be the first I hear if I make it when I die
If I don’t indulge too much in those cities filled with sin
When I reach the gates old Pete will let me in
And you can be my grievous angel once again
Be my grievous angel once again

I lifted up the arm, dropped that trusty needle down and following the crackle came your cosmic country sound
As you swept out the ashes of a heart that burned so blue, right then and there I fell in love with you

Chorus

I headed to the pawn shop and bought me a guitar, I played it to the midnight moon whilst singing at the stars
It took me ten long years to write this song, even longer now since you’ve been gone, and I’m singing this one for you now from afar

Chorus
He sure could sing
