    Truck Stop in Heaven

    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    With a restaurant attached.
    A salad bar and a buffet,
    And a payphone in the back.

    The coffee’s always hot,
    And the food aint too bad.
    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    So I could talk to my Dad.

    He says “I’m flyin over Montana,
    just dropped a load of rain.
    I’m headed down to Dallas,
    And then up to Maine.

    No more haulin’ produce,
    Gasoline or TVs.
    Cause up here in Heaven,
    I’m haulin’ prayers and dreams!”

    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    With a restaurant attached.
    A salad bar and a buffet,
    And a payphone in the back.

    The coffee’s always hot,
    And the food aint too bad.
    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    So I could talk to my Dad.

    “This rigs as big as a mountain,
    You can see me from where you are.
    It’s no Freightliner, no Peterbilt,
    It’s an actual Western Star!

    My Jake-brake is the thunder,
    The exhaust makes tornadoes!
    Man, it means so much more
    to be the king of the road,
    where the streets are paved with gold!”

    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    With a restaurant attached.
    A salad bar and a buffet,
    And a payphone in the back.

    The coffee’s always hot,
    And the food ain’t too bad.
    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    So I could talk to my Dad.

    I’d tell him that I miss him,
    every single day.
    “Wish you could just stop by,
    and meet my wife,
    when you pass by this way.”

    He tells me not to worry,
    That one day he’ll meet her.
    But if we look up at night,
    we can see the lights,
    of his 18 wheeler!

    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    With a restaurant attached.
    A salad bar and a buffet,
    And a payphone in the back.

    The coffee’s always hot,
    And the food ain’t too bad.
    I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
    So I could talk to my Dad.
