Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Instrumental:
Bb Eb Gm F Bb Eb Gm F
Verse 1:
Bb Eb
I wait on tables here
Bb Eb
Ain’t quite how I planned it
Bb Eb F Bb
Pay’s not that great, but I do alright in tips
Eb
I took the job to get me by
Bb Eb
When my husband left me stranded
Bb Eb F Bb
I still don’t know just where the hell he is
Eb
After dark, six nights a week
Bb Eb
I pull this apron snug
Bb Eb F Bb
Glance up at a dusty TV blaring local news
Eb
Then I’m everybody’s best friend
Bb Eb
Dealing coffee like a drug
Bb Eb F Bb
The whole place smells like fries and diesel fuel
Chorus:
Eb Bb
Every shift is different
F Bb
And every shift’s the same
Eb Bb
Someone’s driving to the Promised Land
Cm F
Or they’re running from the pain
Eb Bb Cm Bb Eb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves
Gm Eb
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
F Bb Eb Gm F
They all stop here on their way to Mexico
Verse 2:
Bb Eb
I still think about that gal
Bb Eb
Who came from Tucumcari
Bb Eb F Bb
Off to find her sister that she just found out she had
Eb
And those young lovers on the run
Bb Eb
She wasn’t old enough to marry
Bb Eb F Bb
Then the cops showed up with one really pissed off dad
Chorus:
Eb Bb
Every shift is different
F Bb
And every shift’s the same
Eb Bb
Someone’s driving to the Promised Land
Cm F
Or they’re running from the pain
Eb Bb Cm Bb Eb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves
Gm Eb
Everybody’s got somewhere to go
F Bb Eb Gm F Bb Eb Gm F
They all stop here on their way to Mexico
Bridge:
Ab Bbsus4 Bb
With each passing of a season
Eb Gm
I wonder if I’m stuck
Ab Bb
Or maybe I’m waitin’ for a reason
Eb F
Or a helping of good luck
Chorus:
Eb Bb Cm Bb Eb
It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and me
Gm Eb
Maybe I’ll head south again, who knows
F Bb Eb Gm F Bb Eb Gm F Bb Eb Gm F
We all stop here on our way to Mexico
