The Waitress

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But if there comes a time She decides she can no longer stay I will not stand in her way [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But if there comes a time She decides she can no longer stay I will not stand in her way [Verse 3] 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 belong to me
