well interstate 80
we was cuttin’ the fog
just me and old sloan
old sloan’s my dog
we had a eighteen wheeler
with ten on the floor and a stereo
layin’ a strip
then we spied a sign
says eat and gas now
we decided to whip in and pick up some chow
at the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’
oh the old home fillerup alookin’ for mavis
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe
now i’ve been every place ‘tween here and south sioux
and we’ve seen us a truck stop waitress or two
but this gal’s built like a burlap bag full of bobcats
she’s got it together
well she filled my tank
i said thank you honey
name was mavis
i gave her the money
old sloan just sat there
watchin’ waggin’ and wishin’
i says you wait in the truck boy
then i went inside
she says what’ll it be
i says a cup of your best and a number
she come back with an order to go and a quart of hot c
and a bone for sloan
i said much obliged
old sloan gave a bark
i left her a buck and he left his heart
at the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe

i said sloan i been thinkin’ on agettin’ up my courage
and tonight’s the night
well i popped the clutch
gave the tranny a spin
took the beebeetown ramp and slid on in
to the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe
oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’

oh the old home fillerup an’ keep on atruckin’ cafe

took a load off my shoes
made mavis an offer that she couldn’t refuse
i says how’d you like to go for a ride with me and old sloan

she allowed as how that sounded like a whole lotta fun
but we was gonna have to wait until the dishes was done
and was it alright with me if she brought along her mother as a chaperone
i said why not
well we geared that tranny into super low
and the four of us went to see a picture show
yeah took ’em to the drivein theater over by pisgah to see true grit
