Truck Stop Sally
(Josh and Trevor)
Hey you
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey you, hey you
(Josh)
We’re out there dreaming over a highway
Truck Stop Sally and the Maydays
A Tiny Band Plays through Tattered Tweeters
Got Blown out tires maybe we’ll leave her
By the side of the Road, get another Beater
and when we get to you………
you’ll know what to do
Hey You
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You
(Josh)
We got pulled over, cuttin’ through the heartland
Got our name in the paper, said just another bar band
You’re goddamn right another round barkeeper
If you want to pick a fight you better dig deeper
I hope it sounds good in your fancy the-ater.
‘Cuz when we get to you
You know what to do
Hey You
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You
(Trevor)
Sold out and busted
Can you still be trusted?
(Josh and Trevor)
Hey you
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey you
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey You, Hey you
Now you know what to do
Now you know what to do
Now you know what to do
Hey you
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey you
Hey you
You wanna get high with the band
You gotta get the band high too
Hey you, hey you
You know what to do
You know what to do
You know what to do
You know what to do
You know what to do
Now you know what to do
Hey you, hey you

additional verse sung at the fillmore show. from jc himself:
We got pulled over,
cuttin thru the heartland
got our name in the paper, said just another bar band
your goddamn right another round barkeeper
if you want to pick a fight you better dig deeper
it sure sounds good in this fancy the-ater.

Added the new verse with slight additions based on what I heard from the 4/7 recording. Was there yet another verse on 4/12? There was definitely additional jamming. This one is evolving for sure.

At first glance, the line “another round bartender” seems to read as “another round (of drinks), bartender”. But taken in context with the preceding line and the following lines, and taking into account the way they are sung with angry defensiveness, there could be a different or dual meaning: a response, perhaps, to the person quoting the newspaper article, “another round (in proportions) bartender” in yet another bar encountered on the road.

The line: “it sure sounds good in your fancy theatre” appears to be the rarity for this song.
Since debuting with it at the Fillmore (a fancy theatre), Josh has replaced the line with “it’s an uphill climb and it’s always getting steeper” most of the time, occasionally using the “theatre” reference when it is, in fact, a fancy thea-tre.
