(*Aaron Watson, Scott Newhouse, Neal Lowry)
2
In every little town from Dalhart to Laredo*
3
There’s a corner cafe' with an open sign in the window
4
As soon as you walk in a waitress greets you with a grin
5
And says make yourself feel right at home
6
Old men sit at a booth telling tall tales and stretching the truth
7
Bragging how bad the good ol’ days used to be
8
They’re all too tired to plow besides their tractors are rusted now
9
So they order hot apple pie with a cup of coffee
10
[Chorus:]
11
Some things will never change
12
After all these years the menu is still the same
13
Serving that sweet ice tea with a touch of southern hospitality
14
So order yourself a taste of yesterday at a Texas Cafe'
15
There’s a Wurlitzer jukebox full of old forty fives
16
Playing three songs for a quarter or one for a dime
17
The cook said he was a boy when it was brand new
18
To him it seemed like yesterday but it was 1962
19
There was a family owned five and dime next door
20
That could not compete with a chain discount store
21
On the outskirts of town the drive in theater is shut down
22
With a screen without a hero since Audie Murphy
23
[Chorus:]
24
There are fields with no grain, railroad tracks with no train
25
And an old courthouse with nobody left to blame
26
Town square is boarded up and brick roads are worn down
27
But the chicken fried steak special is still around
28
[Chorus:]
