(Kix Brooks/Chick Rains)

I was sittin' in a truckstop truck stop
Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the waitress caught my eyeenter added
She pulled a pencil from her hair
And leanedLeaned across the bar
An'I did my best not to stare
But man, she made it hard
An'I asked that trucker next to me
Hey,"Hey, what looks good today today"
He said I said, "I know what's on your mind
AndAn' boy, there ain't no way way"
Get
"Get yourself some apple pie
And somethingAn' somethin' cool to drink
I know you want the special
AndAn' I like the way you think think"
But"But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied satisfied"
They
"They got a hundred acre dream
That'sIt's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away away"

Hard times hit West Texas
DamnDamn, near everything's for sale
But there's somethings some things we hold sacred
When everything else failsenter added
When we're down to nothing nothin'
Out here, everybody shares
Most of us have lost our dreams
So we bought into theirs
Yeah,I've seen her walk a up hundred miles
Up and down this floor
ButI've never seen her fail to smile
When he limps through that doorenter added
So when you're done, you leave a tip
AndAn' make it nice and fat
AndAn' feel lucky you can own a piece
Of something somethin' like that

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried

That'sIt's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away
