[Verse] She wipes the counter with a rag worn thin, Pourin’ coffee for the long-haul men, Eyes that hide the stories never told, That truck stop waitress with a heart of gold. [Pre-Chorus] And every night beneath those neon lights, She’s dreamin’ of a life beyond the fight. [Chorus] Hold on, hold tight, keep the fire burnin’ low, There’s a kindness in her smile only few will ever know. Through the dust and the rain, through the bitter and the cold, She’s the heart you find at the end of that long road. [Verse] Her laughter’s soft but it cuts right through, Like a southern breeze that’s calm and true. She’s got the grace to lift a weary soul, That truck stop waitress with a heart of gold. [Pre-Chorus] And every night beneath those neon lights, She’s holdin’ on to dreams she won’t let die. [Chorus] Hold on, hold tight, keep the fire burnin’ low, There’s a kindness in her smile only few will ever know. Through the dust and the rain, through the bitter and the cold, She’s the heart you find at the end of that long road. [Bridge] Maybe someday, she’ll find a place to call her own, Where the nights are warm and the heartache’s never known. Till then she’ll wait, with a quiet, steady soul, The guardian angel of the midnight roll. [Chorus] Hold on, hold tight, keep the fire burnin’ low, There’s a kindness in her smile only few will ever know. Through the dust and the rain, through the bitter and the cold, She’s the heart you find at the end of that long road. [Outro] She’s the heart you find at the end of that long road...
