There's a place A local roadside shack A poor man's paris with a parking lot in the back There's a girl there She knows how to unwind She don't talk much but she knows just how to act I said - don't tell me she don't love me The money's just a mere formality
Every day, every night Somethings going on, something's going on Down the road over yonder Any place, any time when I'm fading My love lies waiting Down the road tonight
When I was younger All the older boys Would drive me way out past the county fair They'd laugh and point out This roadside trailer And say something wild's going on over there They said - what they're doing Don't mean nothing to you now But someday it'll mean everything
There were movies in the parlor They were dealing one-eyed jacks And when I said I loved her She said - just keep coming back
