Trivia
- James LeBlanc produced a wonderful cover of the song on YouTube, allowing people to hear it cleanly and as close to the original as it's ever been heard.[2]
Lyrics
The truck that he drives around is custom-painted on the driver's side He keeps it cleaner than clean and pays a guy to wax the under-parts She eats her dinner in bed and watches local news to fall asleep He's on the road for a week or two and he calls at dinner-time The truck got busted up good, a three-car accident he didn't cause And with the rig in the shop he got a break he didn't ask for They ate their dinner in bed and watched the local news to fall asleep She got so good at the lonely parts it was hard to start again But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay Don't they hear alarms? She's folding up her arms, he's turning away Learning days are done, the living has begun, she's getting sadder Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn't matter. The TV's broken again, static on the screen And once he's back on the road, the house is getting cleaned She leaves her dinner in bed to walk around the house and look for him She couldn't tell he was gone again so she throws his dinner out But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay Don't they hear alarms? She's folding up her arms, he's turning away Learning days are done, the living has begun, she's getting sadder Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn't matter Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn't matter. All of the cats have names but none are near enough to sound the same And I can sleep better when you're gone she whispered lightly to the dawn
