Semi Suite Lyrics - The Heart Of Saturday Night - Tom Waits

Well, you hate those diesels rollin' 

And those Friday nights out bowlin' 

When he's off for a twelve hour lay overnight 

You wish you had a dollar 

For every time he hollered that he's leavin' 

And he's never comin' back 

But the curtain laced below 

And his hands on your pillow 

And his trousers are hangin' on the chair

And you ain't got the courage to leave 

He tells you that you're on his mind 

You're the only one he's ever gonna find 

It's kind-a special, understands his complicated soul 

But the only place a man can breathe 

And collect his thoughts 

Midnight and flyin' away on the road 

But you've packed and unpacked 

So many times you've lost track 

And the steam heat is drippin' off the walls 

Photos 

But when you hear his engines 

You're lookin' through the window in the kitchen and you know 

You're always gonna be there when he calls 

'Cause he's a truck drivin' man, stoppin' when he can 

He's a truck drivin' man, stoppin' when he can
