Most chords palm muted
Well, there is only one reason I stop in this place
Let me stress that it aint the cuisine
The eggs are all runny, the hash browns smell funny and
The coffee tastes like gasoline
But there goes the one thing that Ive been looking forward to
For the last six-hundred miles
In a slow motion pan with 8 beers in each hand
Whats here of heaven in her smile
She is the prettiest waitress in Memphis
And I think shes flirting with me
Readin them specials- extra special
She slipped a finger into my sweet tea
O but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift
Will do terrible things to a smile
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows
Shes only that way for a while
Somehow she remembered my name though its been
Several months since I passed through this way
She said shes lived here all her twenty three years
I said Id 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 Ive ever read
Shes the prettiest waitress in Memphis,
And I know she's flirtin' with me.
Been reading them specials, extra special.
Slipped a finger into my sweet tea.
O' but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift
Will do terrible things to her smile.
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows,
She's only that way for a while.
Well, the prettiest waitress in Memphis
Spilled her heart all over me
As I held her that night in a way she was right when she said,
This will all change eventually
Cause she aint the prettiest waitress in Memphis no more
But its not what youre thinking- you see
The prettiest waitress in Memphis just quit
And shes leaving Memphis with me
The prettiest ex-waitress in all of Memphis is
Leaving Memphis with me.
