Highway Caf — текст песни (Kinky Friedman)





(kinky friedman)



She was only a waitress in a highway cafe

Poured coffee from dusk until dawn

But shes heart-broken 24 hours a day

For she longed for her trucker whod gone



"will you make it a corned beef on rye"

Hed sing with a gleam in her eye

Oh, the headlights were burning

And the big wheels were turning

Her sweetheart would come by and by



Hed park his great semi off route 64

Shed blush with a sweet little sigh

For at half past eleven, hed walk in the door

And order a corned beef on rye



"will you make it a corned beef on rye"

Hed sing with a gleam in her eye

The jukebox was blarin

His soft eyes were starin

And the corned beef would come by and by



All the drivers remember that night, so they say

Shed said her farewells to them all

But when the hands on the clock reached a quarter past twelve

Her suitcase still stood in the hall



And the hours passed by even as the trucks passed by out on the highway

And then two grim highway patrolmen came into the place

They shook the rain from their hats

And as the poor girl brought them their coffee

These were the words that they said



"hey, curly, did you see that old diesel flattened out

Like your damned nose up by the predicament tonight?



"well, he jack-knifed that son of a bitch slicker than owl shit!



"ill have a chilli dog over here, baby.



"hell, you dont suppose that he had a little ol hog way down the line somewhere, do you?



"hey now, curly, dont you know that them damn truckers

They got to take up a little filly at every cafe from here to las cruces!"



Now there is a small truck-stop on route 64

If you happen to be passin by

Theres a trucker that never stops in anymore

Theres a waitress who wished she knew why



"oh, make it a corned beef on rye"

She sings with a tear in her eye

And as her dark eyes are glistening

Theres someone whos listening

In that highway cafe in the sky



"oh, well make you the corned beef on rye"

She sings with a tear in her eye

And as her dark eyes are glistening

Theres someone whos listening

In that highway cafe in the sky
