Lyric Waitress At Main Street Cafe

(Tom T. Hall)

I know they all know that I love her they don t say a word I can tell
The people who live here on Main Street know and respect me too well
Each morning she brings me my coffee thank you good looking I d say
Everyone knows I m in love with the waitress at Main Street Cafe.

I watch as she walks by my table I m longing to hold her so tight
I know once again I will meet her when she gets through working tonight
Someday when my ship comes to anchor I ll come and I ll take her away
My schemes and my dreams are including the waitress at Main Street Cafe.

I know that some stranger would wonder why we steal a quick little kiss
I eat and I drink all my orange juice yet I never leave her a tip
She says she will take off that apron when we can afford it some day
Yes, the girl that I married is working, she s the waitress at Main Street Cafe...
