She was tall and always tired
She worked the late shift, the all night diner
Years can fly by you in a place like this
Waiting for a perfect man and a perfect kiss
Coffee cups, eggs, and sausage
Steady hands, the smiles hold her hostage
She traded her 20's for a job that never promised more
Her dreams, they fell asleep on the top bunk and woke up on the floor
There ain't no good fight,
Ain't no heroes
Ain't no bad man out to get you
Theres just a tough job
That'll swallow
You in the darkness
Of another day
