Well, there is only one reason I 
stop in this place
Let me stress that it ain’t the 
B
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           
She is the prettiest waitress in 
E
Memphis
      F#m                       B
And I think she’s flirting with me
Readin’ them specials- extra special
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 
She’s only that way for a while
riff)


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.
