Old Home Filler-up An' Keep On A-truckin' Caf

C.W. McCall

Well, Interstate 80, we was cuttin' the fog

Just me an' old Sloan (Old Sloan's my dog)

We had an eighteen-wheeler with ten on the floor and stereo layin' a strip

Now we spied a sign, says "Eat Gas Now"

We decided to whip in and pick up some chow

At the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe



[Chorus]

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin'

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' (a-lookin' for Mavis)

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe



Now we've been every place between here and South Sioux

And we've seen us a truck-stop waitress or two

But this gal's built like a burlap bag full of bobcats:

She's got it to-gether



Well, she filled my tank; I said "Thank you, honey."

Her name was Mavis, I gave her the money

Old Sloan just set there, watchin' and waggin' and wishin'.

I says, "You wait in the truck, boy."



Then I went inside. She says, "What'll it be?"

I says "A cup of your best and a number three."

She come back with an order to go and a quart of hot C and a bone for Sloan.

I said, "Much obliged"; old Sloan gave a bark

I left her a buck and he left his heart

At the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe



[Chorus]

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin'

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin'

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe



Well, Saturday night we was truckin' along

Yeah, me and old Sloan was a-gettin' it on

I said, "Sloan, I've been thinkin' on a-gettin' up my courage, and tonight's the night"

Well, I popped the clutch, gave the tranny a spin

Took the Beebeetown ramp and slid on in

To the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe



[Chorus]

Oh, the Old Home Filler-Up An' Keep On A-Tru
