Had to write an essay on this song, and I don't hate it now, so therefore it must be particularly good.

A voice built to set your guts a tinglin. "Love was a trucker's hand."

Papa was a rodeo, Mama was a rock'n'roll band. I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand. Home was anywhere with diesel gas, love was a trucker's hand. Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand. Before you kiss me you should know Papa was a rodeo .
