Letra da Música Waiting Tables de Don Henley

She grew up tall... in a timber town

But trees were not the only things... that were falling down
Breezes thru the pines was blowing bittersweet
They blew the papers down the dead end street

She married a boy... soon as she got out of school
But he turned out to be a reckless fool
And gone are the days... when she was worry free
Now she's a single mom... she's only twenty-three

And she's waiting tables... she's just waiting tables
She's learned a lot about people
More than she... ever wanted to know

She's just waiting tables... waiting tables
Biding her time until there's... some-where else to go

Well her working day is done... she tallies up her tips
She sighs, dear Lord above there must be more than this

Some-day she'll see this misery in her rear view mirror
But for today she'll find a way... to get along right here

And she's waiting tables... she's just waiting tables

She's learned a lot about people
More than she... ever wanted to know

She's just waiting tables... waiting tables
Biding her time until there's... some-where else to go

One rainy night a hand-some man came in
Said he was bound for parts unknown
They talked and talked... until the moon went down
But in the morning he was gone

Waiting tables, she's just waiting tables
Another year or two... she'll be moving on
She's just waiting tables, waiting tables

Holding her own until something better comes along
Waiting tables, she's just waiting tables

Biding her time until something better comes along
