Verse 1:
Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
I wait on tables here
Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
Ain’t quite how I planned it
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb      FF       Bb majorBb
Pay’s not that great, but I do alright in tips

         Eb MajorEb
I took the job to get me by
    Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
When my husband left me stranded
Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb    FF         Bb majorBb
I still don’t know just where the hell he is

        Eb MajorEb
After dark, six nights a week
 Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
I pull this apron snug
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb    FF       Bb majorBb
Glance up at a dusty TV blaring local news

       Eb MajorEb
Then I’m everybody’s best friend
    Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
Dealing coffee like a drug
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb     FF        Bb majorBb
The whole place smells like fries and diesel fuel


Chorus:
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Every shift is different
FF           Bb majorBb
And every shift’s the same
    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Someone’s driving to the Promised Land
     C minorCm         FF
Or they’re running from the pain
   Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb    C minorCm   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves
G minorGm           Eb MajorEb
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
              FF      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF
They all stop here on their way to Mexico

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
I still think about that gal
  Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
Who came from Tucumcari
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb       FF         Bb majorBb
Off to find her sister that she just found out she had

           Eb MajorEb
And those young lovers on the run
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
She wasn’t old enough to marry
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb     FF         Bb majorBb
Then the cops showed up with one really pissed off dad


Chorus:
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Every shift is different
FF           Bb majorBb
And every shift’s the same
    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Someone’s driving to the Promised Land
     C minorCm         FF
Or they’re running from the pain
   Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb    C minorCm   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves
G minorGm           Eb MajorEb
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
              FF      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb  G minorGm FF
They all stop here on their way to Mexico


Bridge:
AbAb           Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
With each passing of a season
Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
I wonder if I’m stuck
AbAb             Bb majorBb
Or maybe I’m waitin’ for a reason
Eb MajorEb       FF
Or a helping of good luck


Chorus:
   Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb    C minorCm   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and me
G minorGm             Eb MajorEb
Maybe I’ll head south again, who knows
            FF      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb  G minorGm FF  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb G minorGm FF
We all stop here on our way to Mexico
