Jasper Heartbreak

I met her at a truck stop Monday mornin' ;
   I still recall the lipstick that she wore.
She was lookin' at my pickup heavy-hearted,
   And I knew she'd hop the freight train just once more.
Her kids all knew I'd feed her horse forever;
   She said to me her basset hound was shy,
But who'd have thought she'd wind up drinkin' homebrew ?
   She sent a hired thug to say goodbye.
