about

This is an age-old story about a girl in a small town, attracted to the wrong guy, longing to leave and start a more exciting life.

lyrics

WAFFLEHOUSE WAITRESS
---------------------------------

Her heart is always achin' when she serves Dakota
Toast and coffee bacon and a whiskey soda
He is cool (ain't nothing here to see)
He is fine (familiar mystery)
He is everything she knows she ought to leave behind

Wafflehouse waitress
Is it so hard to steer
Well you could be famous
To the aimless if you just
Get out of here

The Sunday Special's special in this sleepy hometown
Dakota's kiss-me smile is kicking off her countdown
But she's cool (fill his cup to the rim)
She could win (get miles away from him)
Take a one-way bus to see if it comes back again

Wafflehouse waitress
For the dusk there's a dawn
Baby you could be famous
To the nameless if you just
Get moving on

Dreams are never gone or lost on her
And would you like a refill sir

You're an awful house waitress
Maybe that's what they say
But you're beautiful shapeless
You can make your own way
And love could mean landing
In the city or on the range
No misunderstanding
You're expanding open up
And make a change
Yeah make a change
