The Prettiest Waitress In Memphis

Lyrics

Well, there is only one reason I stop in this place Let me stress that it ain't the cuisine The eggs are all runny, the hash-browns smell funny and the coffee taste like gasoline But there goes the one thing that I've been looking forward to for the last 600 miles In a slow motion pan, 8 beers in each hand What's here of heaven in her smile She's the prettiest waitress in Memphis and I think she's flirting with me Readin' them specials - extra special, slipped her finger into my sweet tea O' but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift will do terrible things to a smile And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows she's only that way for a while Well somehow she remembered my name though it's been several months since I passed through this way She said she's lived here all her twenty three years I said I'd be here for a day Ordered the pecan pie and in the wink of eye I got a slice as big as my head And her name and her number on a sweet-n-low package is the best poem that I've ever read She is the prettiest waitress in Memphis and I know she's flirting with me Readin' them specials - extra special, slipped her finger into my sweet tea O' but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift will do terrible things to a smile And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows she's only that way for a while Well the prettiest waitress in Memphis, she spilled her heart all over me And the way she was right as I held her that night 'n she said "This'll all change eventually." Cause she ain't the prettiest waitress in Memphis no more But it's not what you're thinking- you see The prettiest waitress in Memphis just quit And she's leavin' Memphis with me Now, the prettiest ex-waitress in all of Memphis is leaving Memphis with me
