The Waitress Songtext
von Katie Pruitt

The rich folks are ordering dinner
Bottles of liquor top shelf
The waitress is serving everyone around
But forgets to take care of herself
There′s a painting that hangs by the window
Infinite mountains of green
She reminisces and misses
When she wasn't tethered to somebody′s dream

But if there comes a time
She decides she can no longer stay
I will not stand in her way


Walking the dog on a Sunday
When the Christians are busy in church
She tells me she prays that her friends and her family
Get all the good things they deserve
There's a red bird chirping in the backyard
She loves all the songs that it sings
She looks like an Angel got locked out of heaven
For lending somebody her wings

But if there comes a time
She decides she can no longer stay
I will not stand in her way

Can't keep her to myself forever
′Cause she′s got other places to be
Her love is a gift I have witnessed her give
But it doesn't belong to me
No, it doesn′t belong to me
No, it doesn't belonged to me
