The Truck Stop Flower

Hello Dolly

What can I say?

To make this hurt of yours

Just go away

You been standin' at that jukebox

For half of the day

And everyone but you knows

Your song, ain't gonna play

A flower in the cracks

Of the pavement

Never meant to blossom here

Or grow this way

Stuck in the parking lot shadow

Of some old diner

Never meant to grow at all

In this place

We don't pick the cards

When they're dealt in the game

Or the role of our hearts

In the matters of fate

This diner be damned

Filled with lonely dismay

With others trapped in their lives, like you

In the prison's they've made

You can tell him

That you love him

You can tell him

You want him to stay

It don't really matter

Cause nothing that you ever did

Or the words that you said

Made a difference to him anyway

The song you wanted

The one that you hear

That used to make you smile

And now just brings tears

Your heart if it's broken

Will Get in the way

So go play your part in the open

And leave it to faith

So move on Dolly

Go find someone that loves you

And this whole big wide world

Will be better off that way
