A song written for my friend Mandy Marie Luke (Country artist). She loves truck stops so I thought I'd write a little something for her.
And she actually owns a 52' Tele that she can really play...
Ya vocals I know are tired, it was late and is only a demo.
Let me know what you think of the song and what could make it better.

Verse 1
There’s a quaint little truck stop off of I-35 - 13
Where you get the best breakfasts or chicken country fried – 13
Dolly and Belle will gladly take your orders down – 14
But better get em’ in before they get the next Greyhound - 13
Verse 2
Mandy waits behind the counter with her charming grin - 13
And when you hit the door she hollers “yaw’ll come on in” -13
Her place ain’t much to look at but you feel right at home – 13
You’ll find it south of Austin just north of San Antone - 13
Chorus
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place, come on in, when you need a break
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place best little truck stop, in the USA
SOLO X 2
Verse 3
When she’s not clearin’ tables helpin’ Belle and Dolly -13
She’s pickin’ in a band on her Fifty-Two Tele – 13
Haggard, Jones, Texas Swing and a little Earnest Tubb - 13
Cause playin’ country music is what she really loves - 13
Chorus
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place, come on in, when you need a break
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place best little truck stop, in the USA
Bridge
With fast, friendly service and always with a smile – 12
You see the trucks and cars lined up near a country mile...at… – 14
Chorus
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place, come on in, when you need a break
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place best little truck stop, in the USA
That's Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place, come on in, when you need a break
Mandy’s place, Mandy’s place best little truck stop, in the USA
