Lyrics
Diner
I’m sittin’ right here in my usual seat In this diner down on Water Street Gus is in the back you can hear him shout, he says “Pick em up, pass em out.” The mornin’ crowd they come and go The radio is playin’ low The girls turn it up and Gus keeps turning it Down, down, down... And I’m sittin’ here watchin’ the world go round Baby got a brand new diamond ring She’s walkin’ up and down showin’ off that thing Buddy gave it to her when he got off work He’s a two time loser, she loves the jerk He’s pumpin’ gas down at Super Daves Workin’ nights at the Shop n’ Save He promised this time he won’t let her Down, down, down... And I’m sittin’ here watchin’ the world go round You drive a Cadillac or a pickup truck Everybody’s tryin’ to change their luck You can search and search your whole life through For what’s sittin’ right here in front of you Might be sittin’ right here in front of you Rita says “What can I get you Babe?” She calls everybody “Babe” She’s been working this joint since God knows when Up every morning at five AM She’s got a two pack habit, a graveyard cough Four more hours till she gets off She’ll get a little sleep then she’ll head out on the Town, town, town... I'll still be sittin’ here watchin’ the world go round Well you can get knocked down, you can get back up You can hide behind your coffee cup You can lose your step, you can miss your stride Or you can get on board and take that ride Get on board and take that ride Now Baby and Rita put on a good show From the last goodbye to the first hello I love a girl in a uniform They’re not the ones I come here for You’re the one I’m here to see There’s an empty stool right next to me Got nothing else to offer you But a love that’s real and a heart that’s true Honey sit awhile as the the day goes Down, down, down... And we’ll both watch this world go round
