Beautiful Waitress Lyrics - Singles - Terry Allen

Well it's not silly 

When she brings you your chili 

To grab a cracker 

And distract her with a crunch 

A cracker crunch 

'Cause you'll only see her once 

Only this one time at lunch 

And she might as well see you too 

Ah it's the last time, you're passing through 

And it's not rude 

When she takes away your food 

To touch her fingers 

And let them linger awhile with your loneliness 

A cracker crunch 

'Cause you'll only touch her once 

Only this one time at lunch 

And she might as well touch you too 

Ah it's the last time, you're passing through 

Yes, it's not strange 

When she brings you your change 

To bend down and kiss her 

And whisper you'll miss her forever 

A cracker crunch 

'Cause you'll only love her once 

Only this one time at lunch 

And she might as well love you too 

Ah it's the last time, you're passing through 

A waitress asked me what I did 

I told her I tried to make art 

She asked me if I made any money 

I said, No I have to teach to do that 

She asked me what I taught and where 

I told her, she told me, she liked art 

But that she couldn't draw a straight line 

I told her if she could reach for something 

And pick it up she could draw a line 

That was straight enough 

She said, she weren't interested in that kind of drawing 

But always liked horses, I said "I did too" 

But they're hard to draw, she said,Yes, that was very true 

Said she could do the body okay, but never get the head 

Tail or legs, I told her she was drawing sausages, not horses 

She said no, they were horses
