The Silver Moon Café
C F C Am F G
There's a blue moon in Kentucky, there's a two lane out of town,
F C F C G C
Where the sign reads leaving Guthrie, population one more down
C F C Am F G
And there's a cafe out on the highway, truckers pouring coffee down
F C F C G C
There's a jukebox in the corner playing crying country sounds
F C Am Dm7 G
There's a woman waiting tables, she is as busy as she can be
F C F C G C
That is the only way she is able to hold on to her sanity
I hear a freight train off in the distance going where I do not know
I just know it is going somewhere, that is where I want to go
Yes, there's a blue moon in Kentucky, I (?) out of town
Just one stop to pick up my lady, population three more down
Just one stop to pick up my lady, population three more down
