Pit Stop - 5 Chinese Brothers

I've been driving fourteen hours 
I could use some company 
But lipstick kiss and faded flowers 
Is all she left for me 
I met her in a diner, asked her what her name was 
Asked her if she'd like to see my rig and she laughed 
She tossed the red carnation underneath the front seat 
Tried to say she's not that kind of girl but she was 
She wants to settle down, she knows a trucker never does 
Just another truck stop angel 
Sent down the highway from above 
Just another pit stop on the speedway of love 
I went down to the racetrack 
I entered the second heat 
They said the red car out there was the one to beat 
I made it to the finals, the red car right behind me 
Passed me just before the checkered flag and I lost 
The girl who kissed the winner asked me if I would meet her 
Under the bandstand down by the finish line and then 
Later in her trailer I crossed that line time and time again 
CHORUS 
See the headlights gleaming 
Hear the engines roar 
From my eyes the tears are streaming 
Falling to the floor 
The road ahead is just a blur I slow down and pull over 
I think of all the women I have found and forgot 
Some girls like movie stars, sad songs on the radio 
Some girls like the smell of gasoline and exhaust 
For every chance I take there's another I have lost 
CHORUS
