Lyrics
The Waitress
Words and Music by Jeff Jolly
© 1995
She’s got the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen
They seem to hold the weight of the world
She’s so tired, she’s on her feet most half the day
On her break she slips through the classifieds
There’s something better out there
she’ll always say
She sees the clock up on the wall
She hears her life ticking away
And then she’ll close her eyes and she’s gone
Across the universe, riding on her favorite song
At night she lies awake in her bed
Dreamin tomorrow my life will change
Someone will walk in through the door
take her hand, lead her away
And then she’ll close her eyes and she’s gone
Across the universe, riding on her favorite song
