Stuck I’m stuck in a truck stop In Minot, North Dakota Praying that you won’t forget about me We came to this place, this spot in the road We laughed and cried as we unpacked the load The joy of a home made the work light Our plans were made, the world was so bright Our bills were all paid, the rent was on time Altho’ it seemed to take every dime We held to each other through winter and fall We felt that we’d found it, that we had it all We tired of pancakes, potatoes and toast We’d tell funny stories bout the flavor of roast We planted a garden with nothing but hope But whatever we grew just tasted like rope Then came the downfall, the job went away The cash ran out, we just couldn’t pay So I sent you out with love in my heart I knew so well that we'd never part. Now you took the truck you took all the money You said you’d send for me my honey Now I’m washing dishes in this old town And waiting for you is just getting me down I’m stuck in a truck stop In Minot, North Dakota Praying that you won’t forget about me [This message has been edited by kayjay (06-27-2002 12:52 PM).] |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh KayJay, this is so very sad, sweet friend, I too hope this is fictional for I would feel heartbroken if I was in this kind of situation! (sigh) This is powerfully said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet KayJay, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
