A waitress with a wet mop

Waking up sleepy eyes

                  C 
And when it?s all over 
                    G 
He?ll move a little slower 
                     D 
He?ll back up to the trailer 
                G 
And look toward Oklahoma 
                                 C 
He?ll pull out right through the middle of town 
                        G 
And watch the sun start sinking down 
                           D 
Still just lighting up the road signs 
                           G 
Getting ready for the next time.
