INTER-TRASHIONAL

INTER-TRASHIONAL [Intro – Spoken | Dry, amused] Ain’t sayin’ it’s a bad truck. Just sayin’… sometimes it wakes up in a mood. Verse 1 Rolled past the scales, feelin’ fine Saw one parked crooked on the shoulder line Hood up, flashers, ego bruised Driver starin’ like he’s been abused Buddy said, “Man, what brand is that?” I said, “International—when it acts like that” Then it coughed, stalled, lost traction Changed its name mid-interaction Pre-Chorus Runs like hell when it wants to Other days it’s got things to do Chorus International—that’s what it says Till the dash lights up and ruins your day Pulls all night, quits mid-haul Like it forgot why it showed up at all You praise her when she’s actin’ rational You cuss her when she’s Inter-Trashional Say it slow, say it casual— Inter-Trashional Verse 2 Starts up clean at the break of dawn By lunchtime three new codes are on One turns two, two turns four Now you’re on a first-name basis at the parts store Runs strong uphill, smooth and proud Dies at the pump in front of a crowd You pat the dash, say “You’re alright” Like it understands human emotion tonight Pre-Chorus She’ll make you money, she’ll make you late Same damn truck, different fate Chorus International, bless her heart Built like iron, wired to start… eventually She’ll haul the load, she’ll steal your time She’ll test your faith on the county line You brag on her when she’s actin’ rational You roast her when she’s Inter-Trashional Say it once, say it loud— Inter-Trashional Bridge Ain’t sayin’ she’s junk, let’s be clear Just emotionally unavailable, my dear One minute loyal, next minute cold Like she heard somethin’ you weren’t told Breakdown – Spoken When she’s good… she’s real good. When she’s bad… hope you’re not in a hurry. Final Chorus International, beautiful mess Best worst truck I’ve owned yet From job-site glory to roadside confessional She lives right on that fine-line level Still climb in, still turn the key Still say “She won’t do this to me” Call her what you want—we’re professional… But we all know she’s Inter-Trashional Outro – Spoken Still drivin’ it. Still fixin’ it. Still defendin’ it… Till the Days Damn Done. 10-4.
