Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
B
E
She was only a waitress
in a highway café
B
Poured coffee from dusk until dawn
But she was heart broken
twenty- four hours a day
For she longed for her trucker
¡°i'll make you the corned
beef on rye¡±
B
She'd sing with a gleam in her eye.
The headlights were burning,
A
The big wheels were turning,
Her sweetheart would
B
E
come bye and bye.
Verse 2
E
When he'd park his great
semi off route 64
B
She'd blush with a sweet little sigh,
For at half past eleven
he'd walk in the door
And he'd order her corned
E
B
beef on rye.
Verse 3
E
¡°i'll make you the corned
beef on rye¡±
B
She'd sing with a gleam in her eye.
The jukebox was blarin';
A
His soft eyes were starin',
B
The corned beef would come bye and bye.
E
Verse 4
All the drivers remember that night,
so they say,
B
She'd said her farewells to them all,
But when the hands on the clock
reached a quarter past twelve
E
Her suitcase still stood in the hall.
Verse 5
E
And the hours passed by even as the
trucks passed by out on the highway
B
And then two grim highway patrolmen
came into the place,
Shook the rain from their hats
and as the poor girl
Brought them their coffee,
E
she overheard the words that they said.

But there's a trucker who
never stops in anymore
And a waitress who wished

She sings with a tear in her eye.
And as her dark eyes are glistening

There's someone who's listening

In that highway café in
the sky.
