Sweetheart

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"
 She was a sweetheart...
 She was a sweetheart...
