[Verse 1]
I met her at the Eagle’s Nest
For one cold beer or three
She smiled at me across the room
Like trouble dressed up sweet
She said, “Hon, you wanna make some cash?”
I said, “Baby, that sounds fine”
She said, “There’s recycling in Paleeto
If you ain’t afraid of a little crime”
So we loaded up my pickup
With copper, steel, and glass
She kissed me by the tailgate
I gave her keys and said, “Hit the gas”
[Chorus]
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Left me standin’ in the neon light
With a bar tab and a broken heart
And a story that don’t sound right
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Headed south with my tailgate high
Now the cops keep askin’ questions
And I keep wonderin’ why
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
And that woman never told me goodbye
[Verse 2]
That truck was full of copper pipes
And six bags of return glass
We rolled south out of Paleeto
With her boots up on the dash
She said, “Pull in by that alley
I know where there’s more to take”
I said, “Girl, you sure are pretty
For a girl makin’ big mistakes”

I was loadin’ up one last bag
When I heard that engine whine
She was peelin’ out without me
With my heart and my ride
I said, “Officer, she was with me”
He said, “Son, that might be true
But she’s gone and you’re here holdin’
Scrap that don’t belong to you”
[Chorus]
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Left me standin’ in the neon light
With a bar tab and a broken heart
And a story that don’t sound right
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Headed south with my tailgate high
Now the cops keep askin’ questions
And I keep wonderin’ why

She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
And that woman never told me goodbye
[Bridge]
I should’ve known when she kissed me
And asked where I kept the keys
That kind of smile in Paleeto Bay
Don’t come with guarantees

Now my cans are in the median
My bottles are in the street
And the only one who knows the truth
Just stole my driver’s seat
[Verse 3]
They found my truck near Legion Square
Still smokin’ from the hood
My wallet gone, the windshield cracked
And the engine messed up good
She left a note on the dashboard
On the Eagle’s Nest receipt
Said, “Thanks for the scrap, country boy
You’re sweeter than you seem”
Now every time I hear a siren
I think about her smile
And how a load of recycling
Put my ass on trial
[Final Chorus]
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Left me standin’ in the courtroom light
With a felony, fines and a broken heart
And a story that don’t sound right
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
Headed south with my tailgate high
Now the cops keep askin’ questions
And I keep wonderin’ why
She took my truck, my heart, and my alibi
And that woman never told me goodbye
[Outro]
So if you see a pretty thing smilin’
Through that barroom smoke
And she asks if your tank is full
Believe me, it ain’t no joke
If she looks too good to trust
Don’t believe her sweet-talk lies
Just hide your keys and hold your heart
And, fool, don’t let her drive
