I Can See You in the Windshield
Love's Journey: A Truck Driver's Reflections
Lyrics
I can see your face upon the windshield as I'm rollin' through the night
I visualize your face reflected on the windshield as I drive through the night
You're sittin' by a fire with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around you tight
You're depicted sitting by a fire, wrapped in a warm blanket, creating a comforting image
This is just a short run and I'll be home in just a week or two
Expressing that the journey is short, and the narrator will be home in a week or two
But I can see you in the windshield it reminds me that you love me
Reflecting on the presence of the loved one in the windshield, a reminder of love
And soon I'll be coming home to you
Anticipation of returning home soon to the person being thought of
Well I saw you in Chicago in a truckstop on a cold and rainy night
Recalling seeing the loved one in a truckstop in Chicago during a cold night
And when that waitress smiled at me honey you looked really out of sight
Noting a moment of perceived distance when a waitress smiled, highlighting the emotional impact
As I rolled into Toledo I thought I'd stop and sleep a wink with you
Considering a stop in Toledo, contemplating a rest with thoughts of the loved one
I can see you in the windshield it reminds me that you love me
Reiteration of seeing the loved one in the windshield as a reaffirmation of love
And soon I'll be coming home to you
Reassurance that soon the narrator will be returning home to the loved one

I thought I saw you walkin' down a busy avenue in Philly Town
Imagining seeing the loved one walking in a busy avenue in Philadelphia
And the way that you were a walking I guess you know I had the gear way down
Noticing a discrepancy in the imagined scene, acknowledging it as a dream
I know I'm only dreamin' but she sure did look an awful lot like you
Recognizing the dream but acknowledging the striking resemblance of the person
I can see you in the windshield it reminds me that you love me
Repeating the theme of seeing the loved one in the windshield as a reminder of love
And soon I'll be coming home to you
Reaffirming the anticipation of returning home to the person in the near future
Well today I'll make my turn around and soon I'll be headed north to you
Planning a turnaround and expressing determination to head north to the loved one
The weather's gettin' awful bad but I know that I can pull her through
Acknowledging challenging weather conditions but expressing confidence in overcoming them
I recall that fuzzy blanket and I know that there is room for two
Recalling the shared experience of a fuzzy blanket and envisioning a return for two
I can see you in the windshield sittin' by the fire
Reiterating the image of seeing the loved one in the windshield by the fire
And I'm coming home to give some love to you
Expressing the intention to return home soon to provide love to the person
I can see you in the windshield sittin' by the fire
Repeating the imagery of seeing the loved one in the windshield and planning to give love
And I'm coming home to give some love to you
Reaffirming the intention to come home and express affection to the loved one
