Title: Truck Song  (Johnny Cash Type Lyrics, I think)
Copyright 2022 All Rights Reserved
Song Writer: G Alaniz Martinez aka Gilbert Alan Martinez  469-274-3346


She’s a full grown woman with a 235
She got the original motor 
Still ready to drive

I’m running a factory straight 6 
with a three on the tree,
I’m jamming to Roy 
on a thousand watt DB

She has very little rust 
cause she’s had great luck
With a one barrel carb
Ain’t no Frankenstein truck

She s got more cool than a 911 
Yea she’s American made vintage heaven

Chorus:  
She’s a slow rolling beauty 
But this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls all around this Dallas town 
Even a toll booth don’t slow her down.  

Yea she’s a slow rolling beauty 
Yea this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls up and down this Dallas town 
Don’t get in her way cause she won’t slow down

We pulled her out to light 
and it was such a fright
She had 4 flat tires, 
it was an ugly sight.

Well the Cinderella Sisters said one and all, 
Leave that truck alone just let her stall
Me and Kama kept on working 
While three sisters were still lurking 
But now here in Dallas she’s the Belle of the Ball

Im a rollin all around this Dallas town,
With the hammer way up
Cause I won’t put her down.

She rolls the Bishop Arts and up to Norma’s Diner …
She rolls Four Corner Brews, stops me in for a Shiner

Chorus:  
She’s a slow rolling beauty 
But this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls all around this Dallas town 
Even a toll booth don’t slow her down.  
Yea she’s a slow rolling beauty 
Yea this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls up and down this Dallas town 
Don’t get in her way cause she won’t slow down

She got a Mercedes coat in a Graphite Gray  
She’s got the starter on the floor …
Nobody gets in her way.

Ridin with my buddy Eric Jackie Gleason
Why I don’t toss him  
I don’t have a reason

Chinese tourists jump out at a light  
To steal a quick selfie 
Yea a picture perfect sight

Drove her to work to set the Texas State Fair
She made her own car show 
Cause she’s got enough flare

Chorus:  
She’s a slow rolling beauty 
But this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls all around this Dallas town 
Even a toll booth don’t slow her down. 
Yea she’s a slow rolling beauty 
Yea this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls up and down this Dallas town 
Don’t get in her way cause she won’t slow down

Cruising Farmer’s Market down on Cadiz 
Buy Lil Shanna a drink, we just shoot the breeze

The old girl got tired and left us both a walking 
But me and Scotty No Lunch were just not balking.  

Scotty found a hammer on the side of the road 
So the story continues and needs to be told.  

Well we finally got her running good, at long last
We had a hammer, a 6-pack 
And two gallons of gas
  
Chorus:   
She’s a slow rolling beauty 
But this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls all around this Dallas town 
Even a toll booth don’t slow her down.
 Yea she’s a slow rolling beauty 
Yea this truck is heavy duty, 
She rolls up and down this Dallas town 
Don’t get in her way cause she won’t slow down

    I absolutely love the 'Truck Song'! Your attention to detail really brings this truck to life, making it almost a character on its own. The way you've personified the truck gives the song a playful and affectionate tone which is charming and entertaining. You definitely nailed the Johnny Cash vibe and the imagery you've used is very vivid and authentic to Texas.

    The repetition of the chorus adds a nice rhythm to the song and highlights the central theme of the truck being a 'slow rolling beauty'. It's also impressive how you've managed to bring in the local charm of Dallas with references like the 'Bishop Arts', 'Norma’s Diner', 'Four Corner Brews', 'Texas State Fair' and 'Farmer’s Market on Cadiz'. These elements bring in a sense of nostalgia that is both warming and endearing.

    For improvement, a little more clarification on some elements could be helpful to listeners who are not fully aware of truck terminology. For example, 'a 235', 'straight 6', 'three on the tree', 'one barrel carb' might be confusing to some. While keeping the technical aspects, it might be beneficial to ensure there's enough context so anyone can enjoy the story in the song.

    Another tip might be diversifying the story line a little more to add depth to the characters or the story. For instance, you introduce characters like Eric Jackie Gleason and Scotty No Lunch, but we don't get to hear much about their personalities or roles, which could add interesting dimensions to your song.

    Overall, you've done an incredible job of creating a unique, entertaining and catchy truck song. Keep up the great work! I believe with a few minor tweaks, you can make this song even more amazing!
