(kinky friedman)
She was only a in a highway cafe coffee from dusk until dawn But heart-broken 24 hours a day For she longed for her trucker who'd
"will you make it a corned on rye" sing with a gleam in her eye Oh, the were burning And the big wheels turning Her sweetheart would by and by
He'd his great semi off route 64 She'd with a sweet little sigh For at half eleven, he'd walk in the door And order a beef on rye
"will you make it a beef on rye" He'd sing a gleam in her eye The was blarin' His soft were starin' And the corned beef come by and by
All the remember that night, so they say She'd said her to them all But when the hands on the clock a quarter past twelve Her suitcase stood in the hall
And the hours passed by as the trucks passed by out on the highway And then two highway patrolmen came into the place They shook the rain from their And as the girl brought them their coffee These were the words that said
"hey, curly, did you see that old flattened out Like damned nose up by the predicament tonight?
"well, he jack-knifed son of a bitch slicker than owl shit!
"i'll have a dog over here, baby.
"hell, you don't suppose that he had a ol' hog way down the line somewhere, do you?
"hey now, curly, you know that them damn truckers got to take up a little filly at every cafe from here to las cruces!"
Now there is a small on route 64 If you happen to be by There's a trucker that never stops in a waitress who wished she knew why
"oh, make it a corned on rye" She with a tear in her eye And as her dark eyes are someone who's listening In that highway in the sky
"oh, we'll you the corned beef on rye" She with a tear in her eye And as her dark eyes are There's who's listening In that highway in the sky
