I met her in a truckstop In some little Texas town She just looked up from the counter Surprised that anyone would come around Just another boring day Out on the Interstate Highway
She said "Hey you guys where are you heading to? Try some of my Mexican stew!" I said "I guess we'll take anything as long as it's served by you"
She was a sweetheart If there ever was one She was a sweetheart But we were havin' all the fun
I said "If you have the time come and keep us company" She said "Time is the one thing that always comes plenty to me - by the way are you on your own or did you leave someone like someone just left me She was a sweetheart...
On saturday nights She spent all her time 'Round the wishingwheel Drinkin' beers Throwing coins and curses On almost anything But there is one thing I could tell One night she went to the wheel Collected the coins and drank up Everybody's dreams solo
She said "I was married twicebut we blew it all up! And now I'm hanging around with the last single man in this town And if anything is happening anywhere he and I - We'll be the ones to care"
