E
Well, there is only one reason I stop in this place
B
Let me stress that it ain’t the cuisine
The eggs are all runny, the hash browns smell funny and
E
The coffee tastes like gasoline
E
But there goes the one thing that I’ve been looking forward to
B
For the last six-hundred miles
In a slow motion pan with 8 beers in each hand
E
What’s here of heaven in her smile
E B E
She is the prettiest waitress in Memphis
F#m B
And I think she’s flirting with me
Readin’ them specials- extra special
E
She slipped a finger into my sweet tea
E
O’ but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift
B
Will do terrible things to a smile
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows
E (intro riff)
She’s only that way for a while
Somehow she remembered my name though its been
Several months since I passed through this way
She said she’s lived here all her twenty three years
I said I’d be here for a day
Ordered the pecan pie and with a wink of an eye
Got a slice as big as my head
And her name and her number on a Sweet-n-Low package
Is the best poem that I’ve ever read
