Lyrics

He was thirty six years of diesel and dust
Eighteen wheels and a wanderlust
Lord knows he wasn?t looking for perfection
She was feisty but pretty as a prairie queen
Had the secondhand blues if you know what I mean
Came over tough but she was longing for a little affection

Chorus
And it?s a mighty short step from a spark to a flame
?Cause love?s a wild fire nobody can tame
It?s a world of wonder or a world of pain
It all depends on whether you can hold on to a hurricane

Both knew it wouldn?t be an easy ride
With the pull of the moon and the rise of the tide
It gets hard to keep moving in the same direction
Now opposites attract they say
But black and white don?t fade to grey
In the looking glass both still see their own reflection

Chorus

When you come across the stones in the road
When you?re sick of carrying your heavy load
Remember into every love a little rain comes falling
Well you can scream and holler and stomp and shout
Or you can take a little time and work it all out
It?s a fact that sometimes the Blues comes calling

Chorus
