Jack's Truck Stop & Cafe Lyrics - I Hate These Songs - Dale Watson

Drinking weren't allowed in the barn where we danced 

But you could buy a coke at 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 cafe 

It sure got hot in the sleepy southern town 

The night got as thick as the day 

We'd open up them garage doors and we'd plug the shop fan in 

You could hear that band pickin' thirty 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 cafe
