(kinky friedman)
She was only a waitress in a highway coffee from dusk until dawn But she's heart-broken 24 a day For she longed for her who'd gone
"will you it a corned beef on rye" He'd sing a gleam in her eye Oh, the headlights burning And the big were turning Her sweetheart would by and by
He'd park his great semi off 64 She'd blush with a sweet little For at half past eleven, walk in the door And a corned beef on rye
"will you it a corned beef on rye" sing with a gleam in her eye The was blarin' His soft eyes starin' And the corned beef come by and by
All the remember that night, so they say She'd said her farewells to all But when the on the clock reached a quarter past twelve Her suitcase still in the hall
And the hours passed by even as the trucks by out on the highway And then two grim highway came into the place They shook the from their hats And as the poor girl brought them their These were the that they said
"hey, curly, did you see that old diesel out Like your damned nose up by the tonight?
"well, he jack-knifed that son of a bitch than owl shit!
"i'll have a chilli dog here, baby.
"hell, you don't suppose he had a little ol' hog way down the line somewhere, do you?
"hey now, curly, don't you that them damn truckers got to take up a little filly at every cafe from here to las cruces!"
Now there is a small on route 64 If you to be passin' by There's a trucker never stops in anymore There's a waitress who wished she why
"oh, make it a corned on rye" She sings with a in her eye And as her dark eyes are There's who's listening In that cafe in the sky
"oh, we'll make you the corned on rye" She sings with a in her eye And as her dark eyes are There's someone who's In that cafe in the sky
