 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

           A

        D        D/F#      G       G/B

       A               D   
 And a few good rides away.
 
    G                           
 No you can't have the waitress,
      D                 
 Boy, everybody's tried.
           A

 And a few good rides away.
