Cooky And Lila |
He was a short order cook, and not too much to look at |
And he traded in his foot, for a medal in the war |
He loved a girl named Lila, in a bar across the highway |
And you ought to see him smilin' at her comin' through the door |
Lila always knew, she wasn’t no ravin' beauty |
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at sixteen |
But she forgets to remember how he left her off in Denver |
When she sees her Cooky smilin' as she opens up the screen |
And he says |
«Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee? |
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here’s the sugar and the cream» |
Cooky’s been to war and Lila’s been to Denver |
And both of them are casualties of someone else’s dream |
Cooky pours the trucker’s coffee, Lila serves the rigger’s whiskey |
And resists their invitations to go ridin' for a while |
'Cause at a diner across the highway, on a shelf above the pastry |
There’s a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her smile |
When he says |
«Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee? |
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here’s the sugar and the cream» |
'Cause Cooky’s been to war Lord and Lila’s been to Denver |
And both of them are casualties of someone else’s dream |
Now as the nation rolls along, like a semi down the highway |
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the road |
I’ve finally found a reason for believing in the future |
Seeing Cooky and his Lila drinking coffee all alone |
Oh yes |
«Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee? |
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here’s the sugar and the cream» |
'Cause Cooky’s been to war and Lila’s been to Denver |
And both of them are casualties of someone else’s dream |
Cooky’s been to war, Lord and Lila’s been to Denver |
And both of them are casualties of someone else’s dream |
