He's got a sunburn on his left arms
From hangin' out a Peterbbilt window
Got a wife and three kids on the farm
Drivin' as fast as he can go, yeah

Minneapolis in his rear view
He's a dead headin' to tulsa
Got the hammer down on 82
With every mile marker getting closer
I said

[Chorus]
Hey he's a trucker man
Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can
Those red-eye runs are taking there torl
His eighteen-wheeler is a rollin' back home

Starin' a hole through the windshield
He's got nineteen on the CB
Well they call him the Bandit
'Cause he only brakes for the Smokies
I said

Hey he's a trucker man
Tryin' to get home just as fast as he can
Those red-eye runs are taking there torl
His eighteen-wheeler is a rollin' back home

He's got a Smith and Wesson in he glove box
And Mother Mary on the dashboard
He's a red-blooded blue-collar man
American right to the core

[Chorus: x2]

Well he's rollin' back home

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
