Truckstop butterfly
Covered in gasoline
Truckstop butterfly
I'll kiss you till you're clean
Me and a man with a Mohawk on his head
Found a dirty butterfly, half dead
Rainbow of shiny oil, slick and stuck on wing
Helpless in a puddle, muddy thing
Seven eleven, cherry soda and a pie
Thirty ton steel gray cloud in the sky
Is dark and drippy
Though we stop and wonder why
You're running late but what a great alibi
Truckstop butterfly
Covered in gasoline
Truckstop butterfly
I'll kiss you till you're clean
Far out east in deserts there's a vein of inky gold
Here out west, you wear it like a coat
Me and the man with the Mohawk watch you go
Follow sun and leave the melting snow
And how I miss you, truckstop butterfly
Fly, so I can't see you, truckstop butterfly
I hope you made it and you didn't die
Still I do miss you, truckstop butterfly
Truckstop butterfly, truckstop butterfly
