Stopped off on a long drive down from the high country
Spent a long time sitting here, long time counting hard miles
Oh, I′d like a cup of black coffee and a piece of sweet cake
But the girl in the print dress doesn't want my money
She won′t take it, she says
She says, I just know you're a Leo
I can tell you've got a lion′s heart
She went on in this way for a while
Like some ′60s sister playing a part
Oh, this cup of black coffee gonna do me just fine
Through the dust and the mirror tiles
I can see that door, keep it closed behind
She says, come on over to my house
Make a journey here sometime
You know there's a party going on
A ladder in my stocking you can climb
There′s a ladder you can climb
Oh, she looked so liberated, she was looking fit to start
She got this back-to-front-and-sideways
Wore her sleeve upon her heart
Oh, just one more cup of coffee's about all I can take
Have to do a truck stop runner now
I′m not man enough to make it, she says
She says, come on over to my house
Make a journey here sometime
You know there's a party going on
A ladder in my stocking you can climb
There′s a ladder you can climb
Stopped off on a long drive down from the high country
Spent a long time sitting here, long time counting hard miles
Oh, I'd like a cup of black coffee and a piece of sweet cake
But the girl in the print dress doesn't want my money
She won′t take it, she says
She says, come on over to my house
Make a journey here sometime
Kick off those tired sport shoes
I′ve got a ladder in my stocking you can climb
A ladder in my stocking you can climb
Truck stop runner
I'll be a truck stop runner
Truck stop runner
Truck stop runner
Truck stop runner
