E
Well, there is only one reason I stop in this place
B
Let me stress that it ain�t the cuisine
The eggs are all runny, the hash browns smell funny and
E
The coffee tastes like gasoline
E
But there goes the one thing that I�ve been looking forward to
B
For the last six-hundred miles
In a slow motion pan with 8 beers in each hand
E
What�s here of heaven in her smile
E B E
She is the prettiest waitress in Memphis
Fm B
And I think she�s flirting with me
Readin� them specials- extra special
E
She slipped a finger into my sweet tea
E
O� but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift
B
Will do terrible things to a smile
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows
E (intro riff)
She�s only that way for a while
Somehow she remembered my name though its been
Several months since I passed through this way
She said she�s lived here all her twenty three years
I said I�d 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 I�ve ever read
She�s 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 ain�t the prettiest waitress in Memphis no more
But it�s not what you�re thinking- you see
The prettiest waitress in Memphis just quit
And she�s leaving Memphis with me
The prettiest ex-waitress in all of Memphis is
Leaving Memphis with me.
