Back home they're all circled 'round a Butterball turkey
While I bow my head over stale beef jerky
I munched on sweets, slaw, Boston baked beans
Found out milk duds will stick to your jeans

I'm all alone but I don't hold a grudge
Cuz I'm first in line for maplenut fudge
Pancakes, beer, poured on the griddle
Charlie Daniels in my head heatin' up the fiddle

Truckstop Thanksgiving
Only comes but once'd a year
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Better stock up on your beer
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Wipe the gravy off your face
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Pump seven please say grace

Traffic is heavy and my heart is too
Them rubbers in the glovebox will soon be used
I'm payin' for a lover and I know it's wrong
A one-legged whore who can't wear a thong

Her name is Tina and she's pregnant again
But with just one leg, she still looks thin
Next morning she claimed to find religion too
I said "I'm glad you found Jesus, but I've lost your shoe"

Truckstop Thanksgiving
Only comes but once'd a year
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Better stock up on your beer
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Wipe the gravy off your face
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Pump seven please say grace

Met a nice young gal
Was a daughter of the cook
Got engaged, but we're still allowed to look
Said "Put on some music if you'd like to dance"
She said "I was invited to the party in the pants"

We danced all night till her daddy walked in
Just rolled his eyes and said "There she goes again"
She took me out back and spread out a quilt
And said I just love a man who drives a Peterbilt

Truckstop Thanksgiving
Only comes but once'd a year
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Try the dark meat if you're queer
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Wipe the gravy off your face
Bring it home boys
Truckstop Thanksgiving
Pump seven please say grace

Goodnight

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
