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
