Lyrics:

1998Writers: Michael Martin Murphey, WestergenI pulled into the Cowpoke Cafe DinerOver on Central AvenueThere ain''t no cup of coffee finerAnd Jed there smokes some mean barbequeThey got a waitress at the counter named SallySometimes she brings me an extra piece of pieShe knows about sad and lonelyAnd sometimes she listens when I cryI wish I could remember what it took to forgetAll the promises that we madeSo, waitress, won''t you bring me a big blue plate of memoriesTake it easy on the painWaitress, won''t you bring me a big blue plate of memoriesBut take it easy on the painInstrumentalSleep is never easy with neon lights are blindin''All night jukebox plays onThats where your always going to find meI just can''t seem to find no love at homeAnd I pulled up to the ranch one morningI found a note stapled to the bedThis is my resignationThe cowboy I love might as well be deadI wish I could remember what it took to forgetAll the promises that we madeWaitress, won''t you bring me a big blue plate of memoriesBut take it easy on the painInstrumentalI wish I could remember what it took to forgetAll the promises that we madeSo, waitress, won''t you bring me a big blue plate of memoriesBut take it easy on the painWaitress, won''t you bring me a big blue plate of memoriesBut take it easy on the pain
