HELP WANTED - A Song by Jack Truman

HELP WANTED
Music and Lyrics by Jack Truman

I left L.A. one morning, heading Eastbound back home
Before I got to Tucson, I had a flat along the road
A fella stopped to give a hand, he wouldn't take a dime or two
I asked him what he wanted, he said a cup of coffee'll do

'Cause when you're on the road, there's not a trouble in your head
Your mind's not thinkin' nothin, all words are left unsaid
This lovely natural feelin' makes you feel all right
To know that there's help wanted helps me through the night

We were sittin' drinking coffee, when I looked up on a shelf
I saw a sign 'Help Wanted', and I figured, what the hell
I'm in no hurry, I'll take some time, I'll wash a dish or two
Turned out to my surprise, that day became a few

'Cause when you're on the road, there's not a trouble in your head
Your mind's not thinkin' nothin, all words are left unsaid
This lovely natural feelin' makes you feel all right
To know that there's help wanted helps me through the night

I left town the next week, headin' eastbound still
Got through Arizona, into New Mexico hills
Made my way into El Paso, decided that I'd stay the night
Pulled into a restaurant to get myself a bite

Saw a lady in the parking lot with a hood up on her car
I said 'It looks like there's Help Wanted', she said it wouldn't start
I got that engine running, she said what do I owe you
I said you don't owe me nothin', but a cup of coffee'll do

'Cause when you're on the road, there's not a trouble in your head
Your mind's not thinkin' nothin, all words are left unsaid
This lovely natural feelin' makes you feel all right
To know that there's help wanted helps me through the night

THOUGHTS OF A STRIPPER: A Mother's Story

In the 1970's, the Burlesque industry was thriving. Nudity and pornography was a public and political outrage. And people across the country were flocking to burlesque theaters to see Melissa St. John: The Upside Down Girl, A.K.A. Wild Star. Little did they know she was a single Mother, alone, on the road, with her two children in boarding schools in separate states. Over a 6 year period while traveling on a burlesque circuit across the country, she was searching for a way to come face to face with her true spirit.
