Jack's Truck Stop and Café Songtext
von Dale Watson

Drinking weren′t allowed, in the barn where he danced
But you can buy her Coke from the store up front
The old man wore a path, in that dirt road parking lot
From the back door of that barn to their trunk

That's the way it was on a Tennessee Saturday night
Just shooting the bull and dancing the night away
We sure had fun on a Tennessee Saturday night
Down at Jack′s truck stop and café


It sure got hot in that sleepy southern town
The night there got as thick as the day
We'd open up them garage doors, and we'd plug the shop fan in
And you could hear that band pickin′ 30 blocks away

That′s the way it was on a Tennessee Saturday night
Just shooting the bull and dancing the night away
We sure had fun on a Tennessee Saturday night
Down at Jack's truck stop and café
Down at Jack′s truck stop and café
