about

© 1997 David Robert Carter (BMI), administered by Tracy Grammer Music

lyrics

she ain't no senator's daughter
she ain't no tennessee belle
and i ain't no one but a lone drifter runnin
the road down to playa miguel

i met her out west pumpin diesel
in a town where the sand meets the sea
she was leather and snaps and an old baseball cap
she stole the wild heart from me

so take all your debutante princesses fair
splendid in diamonds and pearls
i'd trade 'em all in for a kiss on the wind
from the lips of a gas station girl

out on the michigan freeway
workin a steady job there
i was pullin a car lot from detroit to charlotte
i guess i just lost her somewhere

midnight through kansas i'd whisper her name
spun in a dust devil's whirl
no one replied but the moon in my eyes
cryin tears for the gas station girl

somebody send me a tailwind
get me as far as l.a.
with some lines i could use from a honky tonk blues
to keep me from slippin away

lord blow me westbound down ol' 66
out past the end of the world
on a highway that runs through the heart of the sun
to the door of the gas station girl
