The Number of That Truck Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Somebody get the number of that truck
The one that drove by here and woke me up
Accidents can be a big surprise
This one hit me right between the eyes
I was big for my age and hungry for life
Could work all day and stay up all night
Half-way simple to be half-way a man
Half on purpose, the other half-planned
It was easy to laugh, it was easy to joke
Never had much money but I never was broke
Then I met Katy. I was hitchin′ with my guitar
She picked me up. I said I wasn't goin′ that far
Oh, then I fell into her eyes
Somebody get the number of that truck
The one that drove by here and woke me up
Accidents can be a big surprise
This one hit me right between the eyes
Rolled right over me, unexpected, but I had it coming
Rolled right over me
It took a while for me to get back on my feet and running We were together for weeks upon end
What seems a short time now, seemed longer back then
Talkin' about music, we'd hang in the park
She was the driver. She had the car
Searchin′ for turtles in old River Oaks
I was dreamin′ of heaven whenever she spoke
Then she met David. He was my best friend
When I look back, it never was the same again
Oh, those eyes had changed forever
Somebody get the number of that truck
The one that drove by here and woke me up
Accidents can be a big surprise
This one hit me right between the eyes
Rolled right over me, unexpected, but I had it coming
Rolled right over me
It took a while for me to get back on my feet and running
Somebody get the number of that truck
Somebody get the number of that truck
Somebody get the number of that truck
