King

one time i was at a gas station in long beach / parked at the pump / counting quarters in my change jar / so i could put in more than eight dollars / and the guy in the truck next to me sat there / watching me / not leaving / still not leaving / still / when I finally got out / i was slightly afraid / because what did he want / because why was he there / still / still / he let down his window / said / you got it sis / do you have enough / i didn't want to leave / til i knew you had enough / you need more / i have more if you need / my shoulders fell / smile danced my face / thank you so much / thank you / i have what i need / but thank you for waiting / so patiently for me
