Lyrics
V1/She's just a part-time waitress in the diner down the road and this isn't quite the life that she had planned
She's friendly with the Truckers and she helps them with their loads trying hard to find herself a real good man
chorus: Though she isn't quite as choosy as she was at 17 she won't settle for a drunkard or a bum
Her sights are high her flesh is weak, her aim is kind of poor, they say she's quite as hopeful as they come( and maybe just as lonely)
V2/She's just a Part Time Waitress but she's still full time fool given so much love away for just a smile
She wants somebody faithful just a guy who won't be cruel but she never met a man with any style
And the sun starts to rise she wipes her counter clean
She put the salt & paper on the shelf
Then she leads her latest stranger back to her lonely room, it's so much worse just being by herself
V3/She's just a Part Time Waitress but she really needs to see a loving heart wherever her eyes drift
She believes she nothing special, just a poor soul born to be a part time waitress on the midnight shift
