(Kinky Friedman)
She was only a in a highway caf Poured coffee dusk until dawn But she was heart broken twenty-four a day For she longed for her trucker gone. "I'll make you the corned on rye" She'd with a gleam in her eye. The were burning, The big were turning, Her would come bye and bye.
When he'd his great semi off Route 64 She'd blush a sweet little sigh, For at half past eleven walk in the door And he'd her corned beef on rye.
"I'll make you the beef on rye" She'd sing a gleam in her eye. The was blarin'; His soft eyes starin', The corned beef come bye and bye.
All the drivers remember that night, so say, She'd said her to them all, But when the on the clock reached a quarter past twelve Her suitcase still in the hall.
And the hours by even as the trucks passed by out on the highway And then two grim Patrolmen came into the place, Shook the rain from their hats and as the poor Brought them coffee, she overheard the words that they said.
"Oh Curly, did you see that old diesel flattened out like your damned nose up by the predicament ?"
"Well, d'you know, he that son of a bitch slicker than owl shit!"
"Now a little joe over here, honey."
"Hey man, you suppose that he had a little ol' hog waitin' on down the line somewhere, do you ?"
"Oh, oh, oh, hell, Curly, you know that them truckers they got to take up a little filly at every, every caf from here to Las Cruces!
"Eh, eh. Yeah, they! Ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah .."
"Ah ah ah ah ah, he he he he he ..."
Now there is a small on Route 64 If you happen to be by, But there's a trucker who stops in anymore And a waitress who she knew why.
"I'll make you the corned on rye" She sings a tear in her eye. And as her eyes are glistening There's who's listening In highway caf in the sky.
"I'll make you the beef on rye" She sings a tear in her eye. And as her eyes are glistening someone who's listening In highway caf in the sky.
"I'll make you the beef on rye" She sings a tear in her eye. And as her dark eyes are someone who's listening In that caf in the sky.
"I'll you the corned beef on rye" ...
