EWell, there is only one reason I stop in this place Let me stress that it ain’t thBe cuisine The eggs are all runny, the hash browns smell funny and The coffee tastes like Egasoline
But there Egoes the one thing that I’ve been looking forward to For the last six-hundred Bmiles In a slow motion pan with 8 beers in each hand What’s here of heaven in heEr smile
She is the Eprettiest Bwaitress in EMemphis And I Fmthink she’s flirting witBh me Readin’ them specials- extra special She slipped a finger into my sweet Etea O’ but Ea small stack of singles from a hard double-shift Will do terrible things to a Bsmile 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.
