(Kinky Friedman)
She was only a in a highway caf Poured coffee from until dawn But she was heart broken hours a day For she longed for her trucker gone. "I'll make you the beef on rye" sing with a gleam in her eye. The were burning, The big were turning, Her sweetheart come bye and bye.
he'd park his great semi off Route 64 She'd blush with a sweet sigh, For at half eleven he'd walk in the door And he'd order her corned on rye.
"I'll make you the beef on rye" She'd sing with a in her eye. The was blarin'; His eyes were starin', The beef would come bye and bye.
All the remember that night, so they say, said her farewells to them all, But when the hands on the clock reached a quarter twelve Her still stood in the hall.
And the hours by even as the trucks passed by out on the highway And then two Highway Patrolmen came into the place, the rain from their hats and as the poor girl Brought them their coffee, she overheard the words that said.
"Oh Curly, did you see that old diesel flattened out like your nose up by the predicament tonight ?"
"Well, d'you know, he jack-knifed that son of a slicker than owl shit!"
"Now a little joe over here, honey."
"Hey man, you don't that he had a little ol' hog waitin' on down the line somewhere, do you ?"
"Oh, oh, oh, hell, Curly, don't you know that them truckers they got to take up a 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 to be passin' by, But a trucker who never stops in anymore And a waitress who wished she why.
"I'll make you the corned 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" She with a tear in her eye. And as her eyes are glistening There's who's listening In highway caf in the sky.
"I'll you the corned beef on rye" She sings a tear in her eye. And as her dark are glistening There's someone who's In highway caf in the sky.
"I'll you the corned beef on rye" ...
