[Intro] D D/F# G D D/F# G
      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.

That's gettin' closer every day.

      A               D
And a few good rides away.

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs,

      A               D   D/F#  G  D
And a few good rides away.
