I was sitting in a roadhouse out on Highway 41
You were mopping up some ketchup at a table
that was done
A
I know you didn’t see me, I was in a corner booth
E
Of course you weren’t my waitress,
mine was missing her front tooth
B
I flagged you down for coffee,
but I couldn’t say a thing
E (tacet) B (tacet)
But I’m in love with you baby
and I don’t even know your name
CHORUS:
A
I’m in love with you baby,
I don’t even know your name
E
I’ve never been too good at all
those sexual games
A
So maybe it’s just better
that we leave it this way
E (tacet) B (tacet)
I’m in love with you baby,
I don’t even know your name.
I ordered straight tequila,
a little courage and shock
I asked you for a date
and then I asked to tie the knot
I got a little wasted, hey,
I went a little far
I finally got to HUG you
when you HELPED me to my car
The last thing I remember,
I heard myself say
I’m in love with you baby
and I don’t even know your name
CHORUS
(slow, blues picking)
The next thing I remember
I was hearing wedding bells
Standing by a woman in a long
white lacy veil
I raised the veil, she smiled at me,
without her left front tooth
And I said “Where the hell am I,
and just who the hell are you?”
She said “I was your waitress,
and our last name’s now the same.”
‘Cause I’m married to you baby
and I don’t even know your name.
(back to brisk country strumming)
A
I’m married to a waitress,
I don’t even know her name
E
I’ve never been too good at all
those sexual games
A
I never thought my love life
would quite turn out this way
E (tacet) B (tacet)
I’m married to a waitress
and I don’t even know her name.
