She ain't no senator's daughter
She ain't no Tennessee belle
And I ain't no one, but a lone drifter running
The road down to Playa Miguel
I met her out west pumping diesel
In a town where the sand meets the sea
She was leather and snaps and an old baseball cap
She stole the wild heart from me
So take all your debutant princesses fair
Splendid in diamonds and pearls
I'd trade 'em all in for a kiss on the wind
From the lips of a gas station girl
Out on the Michigan freeway
Working a steady job there
I was pulling a car-lot from Detroit to Charlotte
I guess I just lost her somewhere
Midnight through Kansas I whispered her name
Spun in a dust-devil's whirl
No one replied but the moon in my eyes
Crying tears for the gas station girl
Somebody send me a tail wind
Get me as far as LA
With some lines I could use from a honky-tonk blues
To keep me from slipping away
Lord blow me westbound down old '66
Out past the end of the world
On a highway that runs through the heart of the sun
To the door of the gas station girl
