Leroy Van Dyke Who’s Gonna Run The Truck Stop In Tusa City When I’m Gone lyrics
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City;
Keep the back bar clean; keep the place lookin' purdy;
Tell jokes to the folks; keep the conversation witty
When you get right down to the nubby, nitty gritty?
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City when I'm gone?
Honey, when I'm gone?
Well, Hank and Crystal, they moved out West
To do the job they both knew best,
And that was runnin' the best truck stop you've ever seen.
Well, Hank worked back in the kitchen and cooked,
And Crystal waited tables with a sexy look,
And before long she became known as the Truck Stop Queen.
You know, that title went to her head;
Hank became sorry he'd ever wed
That strong-willed woman who began to boss him around.
She'd yell and scream through the kitchen doors,
And tell Hank to get the lead from his drawers.
I mean, she was always puttin' him down.
Well, one day Hank had had it to his ears;
He went to the cooler, got a couple of beers;
Took Crystal by the arm to the table, and he sat her down.
CHORUS
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City;
Keep the back bar clean; keep the place lookin' purdy;
Tell jokes to the folks; keep the conversation witty
When you get right down to the nubby, nitty gritty?
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City when I'm gone?
Honey, when I'm gone?
Well that Greyhound bus stopped every day
To drop the mail while on its way to………..
Reno, Silver City , Fresno, Tahoe, Bakersfield,
And beautiful downtown Burbank.
He said, “Woman, I've done had enough of your cuss;
I'm puttin' my bags on that Greyhound bus.
You're a plain, bad broad, and I had enough of your lip.”
He stepped up to that slidin' door (shuuuuuuuu),
And the bus took off with a roar,
And as he hit the road, he bought ticket for a one-way trip.
Hank looked out the window at the back of the bus;
There stood Crystal in the desert dust
Standing on the bumper with her lips, flapping in the breeze.
She was pointin' her finger and poundin' on the glass,
And givin' Hank a rash and a sass.
She wasn't about to let that poor man leave.
Hank pressed his nose to the window pane;
He began in screamin' at that dizzy dame,
And the people on the bus all began to turn and stare.
Well, about that time, a sign said “Dip;”
Lyricsvault.net the ultimate site for golden oldies and evergreens
Crystal did a twist and triple flip, and Hank hollered out the window
As she flew through the air.
CHORUS
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City;
Keep the back bar clean; keep the place lookin' purdy;
Tell jokes to the folks; keep the conversation witty
When you get right down to the nubby, nitty gritty?
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City when I'm gone?
Honey, when I'm gone?
Well, there's a moral to this silly song,
And I hope you ladies won't take me wrong,
But Woman's Liberation needs a lightly different point of view.
For a man has got to be a man, and if you can just make him think he can.
In turn, your man'll make a woman out of you.
Well, you're the only ones who can do the trick;
Only a woman knows how we tick.
I think that man and woman is here to stay.
Just make your man think he's the boss,
And help him out when he gets lost,
And I guarantee you, girls, you'll never hear him say…………….
CHORUS
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City;
Keep the back bar clean; keep the place lookin' purdy;
Tell jokes to the folks; keep the conversation witty
When you get right down to the nubby, nitty gritty?
Who's gonna run the Truck Stop in Tuba City when I'm gone?
Honey, when I'm gone?
Yes, I'm gone.
Bye, bye.
You know I'm gone.
You think I'm gonna stick around and listen to that sass?
You done bought the farm, Honey. (Shuuuu Hmmmmmmmmm)

Perhaps the best head of hair of any male

A "chick magnet" if there ever was one.
