A Few Good Rides Away

In the style of

Brooks & Dunn

Lyrics

i was sittin' in
a truckstop
watchin'
tumbleweeds
roll by

tryin' to read
the menu
when the waitress
caught my eye

she pulled a pencil
from her hair
and leaned across
the bar
and i did my best
not to stare
but man
she made it hard

and i asked
that trucker
next to me
hey what looks
good today

he said i know
what's on your mind
and boy
there ain't no way

get yourself
some apple pie
and somethin'
cool to drink
i know you want
the special
and i like
the way you think

but you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied

they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day

just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away

hard times hit
west texas
damn near
everything's
for sale

but there's
some things
we hold sacred
when everything
else fails

when we're
down to nothin'
out here
everybody shares
but most of us have
lost our dreams
so we bought
into theirs

yeah i've seen her
walk a hundred miles
up and down
this floor
but i've never
seen her fail to smile
when he limps
through that door

so when you're done
you leave a tip
and make it
nice and fat
and feel lucky
you can own a piece
of somethin' like that

but you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied

they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day

just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away

no you can't have
the waitress
boy everybody's tried
there's a cowboy
down in abilene
that keeps her
satisfied

they got a hundred
acre dream
that's gettin' closer
every day

just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away

just a few more
plates of ham
and eggs
and a few good
rides away
