The Waitress Lyrics by Katie Pruitt

Mantras

2024

[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
