Few Good Rides Away lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Few Good Rides Away lyrics I was sittin in a truckstop Watchin tumbleweeds roll by Tryin to read the menu When the waitress caught my eye She pulled a pencil from her hair And leaned across the bar I did my best not to stare But man, she made it hard I asked that trucker next to me Hey, what looks good today He said I know what s on your mind And boy, there ain t no way Get yourself some apple pie And something cool to drink I know you want the special And I like the way you think But you can t have the waitress Boy, everybody s tried There s a cowboy down in Abilene Who keeps her satisfied They got a hundred acre dream That s gettin closer every day Just a few more plates of ham and eggs And a few good rides away Hard times hit West Texas Damn near everything s for sale But there s somethings we hold sacred When everything else fails When we re down to nothing Out here, everybody shares Most of us have lost our dreams So we bought into theirs I ve seen her walk a hundred miles Up and down this floor I ve never seen her fail to smile When he limps through that door So when you re done, you leave a tip And make it nice and fat And feel lucky you can own a piece Of something like that But you can t have the waitress Boy, everybody s tried There s a cowboy down in Abilene Who keeps her satisfied They got a hundred acre dream That s gettin closer every day Just a few more plates of ham and eggs And a few good rides away But you can t have the waitress Boy, everybody s tried There s a cowboy down in Abilene Who keeps her satisfied They got a hundred acre dream That s gettin closer every day Just a few more plates of ham and eggs And a few good rides away Just a few more plates of ham and eggs And a few good rides away song lyrics
