A Few Good Rides Away
In the style of
Lyrics
i was sittin' in
a truckstop
watchin'
tumbleweeds
roll by
tryin' to read
the menu
when the waitress
caught my eye
she pulled a pencil
from her hair
and leaned across
the bar
and i did my best
not to stare
but man
she made it hard
and i asked
that trucker
next to me
hey what looks
good today
he said i know
what's on your mind
and boy
there ain't no way
get yourself
some apple pie
and somethin'
cool to drink
i know you want
the special
and i like
the way you think
but you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied
they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day
just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away
hard times hit
west texas
damn near
everything's
for sale
but there's
some things
we hold sacred
when everything
else fails
when we're
down to nothin'
out here
everybody shares
but most of us have
lost our dreams
so we bought
into theirs
yeah i've seen her
walk a hundred miles
up and down
this floor
but i've never
seen her fail to smile
when he limps
through that door
so when you're done
you leave a tip
and make it
nice and fat
and feel lucky
you can own a piece
of somethin' like that
but you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied
they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day
just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away
no you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied
they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day
just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away
just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away
