Desert Waitresses

Desert Waitresses

Waitresses who came to the desert when
They were young women say to one
Another smoking at the bar after closing
Blatantly breaking the new manager’s rules
They don’t know how much longer 
They can do this it’s not the trays though
Those have done their shoulders in
But the surly men who drive out from LA
In muscle cars they can hear coming miles
Away with some thing they found
On the internet they want their drinks
And food fast like they’re used to having it
Actually turns out they know the girl 
He is with today because they were her
Once out here for the first time from
Orange County or based on the looks
Of this one Santa Monica they know
Such girls are beginning to wonder
Whether to tell him they’re going
To the restroom but never come back
