Del Barber The Waitress歌词


She was tall and always tired
Works the late shift at the all night diner
The years can fly by you in a place like this
Waiting for a perfect man and a perfect kiss

Coffee cups, eggs and sausage
Steady hands, friendly smiles hold her hostage
She traded her 20?s for a job that never promised more
Her dreams fell asleep on the top bunk and woke up on the floor

There ain’t no good fight
There ain’t no hero
There ain’t no bad man out to get you
There’s just a tough job
That will swallow you in the darkness of another day

She grew up in the West
She grew up in the country
Great plaines, long trains, horses and hay
She thought she was rich cause she had everything she could need
Till the storm of divorce came and all was lost to legal fees

She moved to the city before she turned 25
Never looked back never wondered what she’s lost
She got a job, learned to work, tried her damndest to be happy
But she know’s she’ll never feel what’s it’s like to be free enough to leave

There ain’t no good fight
There ain’t no hero
There ain’t no bad man out to get you
There’s just a tough job
That will swallow you in the darkness of another day

There’s no more cowboys
No more bonfires
No more stars up in her sky
There’s just the streetlights
Casting shadows into the darkness of another day
