Lyrics
0:14She grew up tall in a timber town
0:22But trees were not the only things that were falling down
0:31Breezes thru the pines was blowing bittersweet
0:40They blew the papers down the dead end street
0:49She married a boy soon as she got out of school
0:58But he turned out to be a reckless fool
1:06And gone are the days when she was worry free
1:15Now she's a single mom she's only twenty-three
1:22And she's waiting tables she's just waiting tables
1:33She's learned a lot about people
1:36More than she ever wanted to know
1:40She's just waiting tables waiting tables
1:51Biding her time until there's somewhere else to go
2:00Well her working day is done she tallies up her tips
2:09She sighs dear Lord above there must be more than this
2:18Some-day she'll see this misery in her rear view mirror
2:26But for today she'll find a way to get along right here
2:35And she's waiting tables she's just waiting tables
2:45She's learned a lot about people
2:48More than she ever wanted to know
2:53She's just waiting tables waiting tables
3:03Biding her time until there's somewhere else to go
3:12One rainy night a handsome man came in
3:21Said he was bound for parts unknown
3:29They talked and talked until the moon went down
3:38But in the morning he was gone
3:47Waiting tables she's just waiting tables
3:56Another year or two she'll be moving on
4:03She's just waiting tables waiting tables
4:14Holding her own until something better comes along
4:20Waiting tables she's just waiting tables
4:29Biding her time until something better comes along
She grew up tall in a timber town But trees were not the only things that were falling down Breezes thru the pines was blowing bittersweet They blew the papers down the dead end street She married a boy soon as she got out of school But he turned out to be a reckless fool And gone are the days when she was worry free Now she's a single mom she's only twenty-three And she's waiting tables she's just waiting tables She's learned a lot about people More than she ever wanted to know She's just waiting tables waiting tables Biding her time until there's somewhere else to go Well her working day is done she tallies up her tips She sighs dear Lord above there must be more than this Some-day she'll see this misery in her rear view mirror But for today she'll find a way to get along right here And she's waiting tables she's just waiting tables She's learned a lot about people More than she ever wanted to know She's just waiting tables waiting tables Biding her time until there's somewhere else to go One rainy night a handsome man came in Said he was bound for parts unknown They talked and talked until the moon went down But in the morning he was gone Waiting tables she's just waiting tables Another year or two she'll be moving on She's just waiting tables waiting tables Holding her own until something better comes along Waiting tables she's just waiting tables Biding her time until something better comes along
