lyrics

I met a punk'd out cocktail waitress on a restless Wednesday night
at the Waxtown City Diner looking halfway out of sight
small town living left her rode hard damned near put away wet
not yet

Yeah we stole on down the road in a junkyard auction Ford
making love in every Motel that a boy could afford
until we burned through all our money 'bout the time the engine
froze who knows?

I need to get caught up but she can't sit still
that newborn baby she's a coming with a gas tank left to fill
They say you never pay for happiness with hundred dollar bills oh no

I'll trade fan belt and a hub cap for a suit coat and a tie
we'll use her panties as a veil and wrap an oil rag round her thigh
make a bouquet out of tumble weeds and hold on till we die
my, my....yeah...my, my



We had ourselves a cool Ford Marriage till the spring of 83
turns out house of love won't run on truck stop grease and gasoline
I heard she settled down in Lincoln and our baby's twenty five...just drive

Sometimes I take that road to Waxtown just to have a look around
and haul what's left of all this heartache to rambling side of town
where the old man still remembers how to run a good time down...slow down

I never got caught up I guess it wasn't meant to be
and if you love someone they tell you that you've got to set them free
but all this freedom burns like hell in every broken part of me...of me...

But I still got that dirty suit coat and that Sally Ann bow tie
and every memory of her naked with that oil rag round her thigh and
every time I see a tumble weed I shake my head and sigh
My My...yeah My, My

I met the only girl I loved on a restless Wednesday night
at the Waxtown City Diner looking halfway out of sight
small town living left her rode hard damned near put away wet
not yet...no, net yet
