lyrics

1. State Line Diner

It seemed so cruel, just one headlight
I can’t see half of what I should tonight
You said: she won’t pass inspection, that piece of junk
So you took the Chevy and I got drunk

But she ain’t a clunker, not yet - knock on wood
She’s still got some gas there, under the hood
I really didn’t mean to run her into the ground
But reckless love can take you, take you down

State Line Diner coming up fast
We could park it for the night
I could put on a dress
Take our coins from the kitty
On the juke box dime
You could hold me like you mean it
One more time

So I shined her up, and I hid the rust
And I painted on a sky of blue, and I washed off the dust
But she still lost fluid, her spark wouldn’t fire
So you parked her out behind the barn and took off her tires

Well, the day I surrender and lay my chassis down
And empty my compartments and crumble to the ground
I’ll still be full of livin’ ‘cuz I ain’t done yet
And that highway of love, you give it what you get

State Line Diner coming up fast
We could park it for the night
I could put on a dress
Take our coins from the kitty
On the juke box dime
And you could hold me like you mean it
One more time

That State Line Diner - coffee that lasts
You got breakfast for dinner
And the pool hall in back
Mufflers in the parking lot
All in a row
And there’s nothing to lose
When you got no where to go

That State Line Diner, where the toothpicks are free
And mother lovin’ truckers
Far as you can see
Take our coins from the kitty
On the juke box dime
And you can hold me like you mean it
One more time
Go ahead, hold me like you mean it
One more time
Just hold me like you mean it
One more time
