The Waitress

from Trio by Jonathan Byrd

lyrics

She’s pretty, she’s amazing, I think I’m in love with her
I love the way she smiles at me- over breakfast
She’s pretty, she’s amazing, I love the way she calls me, “sir…”
She really listens to me, she’s my waitress

She’s my waitress, if I want a cup of coffee
She’s my waitress, if I need a piece of pie
She’s my waitress- She’ll come back until I’ve had enough
She’s my waitress, from her orthopedic shoes
She’s my waitress, to the chewin’ gum she chews,
She’s my waitress, the waitress I love

She’s pretty, she’s amazing, though she’s had a brush with the law
It’s been a while since her last arrest
She’s pretty, she’s amazing, and everybody’s got some little flaw
She’s rehabilitated now; she’s my waitress

She’s my waitress, she’s poppin’ percosets
She’s my waitress, and smokin’ cigarettes
She’s my waitress, Lord knows, that mornin’ crowd is tough
She’s my waitress, there where everybody goes
She’s my waitress, when the honky-tonks are closed
She’s my waitress, the waitress I love

She’s my waitress, her brother’s name is Billy
She’s my waitress, he’d probably beat me silly
If he knew, if he knew what I was thinkin’ of
I’m thinkin’ of my waitress, and maybe someday
if she’s my waitress, I’ll have the nerve to say
Oh, waitress, - you’re the waitress I love
