“Scale House Sweetheart (New Country Mix)”
(A Modern Country Love Song)
Intro
(Upbeat acoustic strum with a kick drum pulse)
Yeah, North Star Road, where my heart got towed…
Verse 1
Rollin’ down North Star in my Peterbilt 359,
Haulin’ dreams and gravel, chasin’ that skyline.
You were runnin’ the scale house, boots kicked up, no care,
Sunglasses and a smile, girl, I couldn’t help but stare.
I hit the brakes too long, let the engine idle low,
Trucks lined up behind me, but I couldn’t let you go.
Chorus
Scale house sweetheart, you lit a fire in my soul,
Held up traffic, flirtin’ on North Star Road.
CB buzzin’ with the word, I was fallin’ for you,
Now every highway leads me back to my forever true.
Oh, oh, oh, you’re my forever true!
Verse 2
I’d swing by every chance, just to catch your laugh,
Spinnin’ yarns ‘bout the road life, signin’ my weigh slip fast.
Those truckers on the radio, they’d razz me through the static,
“Boy, you got it bad!”—yeah, I was lovesick and erratic.
Took a year of backroad dates, dancin’ under neon lights,
Knew I’d put a ring on you ‘neath the stars one night.
Chorus
Scale house sweetheart, you lit a fire in my soul,
Held up traffic, flirtin’ on North Star Road.
CB buzzin’ with the word, I was fallin’ for you,
Now every highway leads me back to my forever true.
Oh, oh, oh, you’re my forever true!
Bridge
On Grandpa’s forty acres, bought back in ’41,
We swore our love forever, with the sunset as our sun.
Roots run deep like the diesel in my veins,
Twenty-nine years later, girl, I’d do it all again.
Verse 3
Now we’re still rollin’ strong, kids grown and grandkids too,
My old 359’s still hummin’, but my home is you.
From that scale house spark to this life we built to stay,
You’re the map to my heart, girl, every mile, every day.
Chorus
Scale house sweetheart, you lit a fire in my soul,
Held up traffic, flirtin’ on North Star Road.
CB buzzin’ with the word, I was fallin’ for you,
Now every highway leads me back to my forever true.
Oh, oh, oh, you’re my forever true!
Outro
Yeah, North Star Road, where my heart got towed,
Scale house sweetheart, you’re my forever road.
(Oh, oh, oh… fade with electric guitar riff)
