INTRO

D

I was sittin' in a truckstop,

G D

Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by.

Tryin' to read the menu,

A

When the waitress caught my eye.

D D/F#

She pulled a pencil from her hair,

G

And leaned across the bar.

D

I did my best not to stare,

A D G/B

But man, she made it hard.

D

I asked that trucker next to me,

G D

Hey, what looks good today?

He said I know what's on your mind,

A

And boy, there ain't no way.

D D/F#

Get yourself some apple pie,

G

And something cool to drink.

D

I know you want the special,

A D D(add9) D

And I like the way you think.

G

But you can't have the waitress,

D

Boy, everybody's tried.

A

There's a cowboy down in Abilene,

D

Who keeps her satisfied.

G

They got a hundred acre dream

D D/F# G

That's gettin' closer every day.

D D/F# G G/B

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs,

A D D/F# G

And a few good rides away.

D

Hard times hit West Texas,

G D

Damn near everything's for sale.

But there's some things we hold sacred,

A

When everything else fails.

D D/F#

When we're down to nothing,

G

Out here, everybody shares.

D

Most of us have lost our dreams,

A D Dsus

So we bought into theirs.

D

I've seen her walk a hundred miles,

G D

Up and down this floor.

I've never seen her fail to smile,

A

When he limps through that door.

D D/F#

So when you're done, you leave a tip,

G

And make it nice and fat.

D

And feel lucky you can own a piece,

A D

Of something like that.

G

But you can't have the waitress,

D

Boy, everybody's tried.

A

There's a cowboy down in Abilene,

D

Who keeps her satisfied.

G

They got a hundred acre dream

D D/F# G

That's gettin' closer every day.

D D/F# G G/B

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs,

A D

And a few good rides away.

G

No you can't have the waitress,

D

Boy, everybody's tried.

A

There's a cowboy down in Abilene,

D

Who keeps her satisfied.

G

They got a hundred acre dream

D D/F# G

That's gettin' closer every day.

D D/F# G G/B

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs,

A D

And a few good rides away.

D/F# G

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs,

A D D/F# G D

And a few good rides away.
