The Waffle House Song- The Man Who Made Me Smile
(Words and Music JD Tucker)

I was sitting in the Waffle House on Highway 41
She walked in looking like she just stared down a gun
She held a little bag so tight
There were tears in her eyes
You could tell that it was memories
Flowing from her mind

And I said "dear can I talk to you
Is there anything that I can do to comfort you"
She just smiled said "In a while,
I just want to be alone with
The man who made me smile
The man who made me smile"

Well I looked around the restaurant
And she was all alone
She ordered pecan waffles
And turned the jukebox on
When old George sang that
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
She looked into the bag and said
"Not me, no way"

And I said "dear can I talk to you
Is there anything I can do to comfort you"
Well she just smiled, said "In a while,
I just want to be alone with
The man who made me smile
The man who made me smile"

Well she reached into her bag
And pulled out a mason's jar
And in it were some glasses
And half smoked fat cigar
And a little vile of ashes
She spread on the greasy floor
Then she picked up her bag
And headed for the door

Then she told me the story,
Went something like this

She said he and me
Would come here for breakfast everyday
We ordered pecan waffles
Carried on and played
And he said when I die
Please don't put me in the ground
Just take me to the Waffle House
And spread me all around

And I said "dear may God bless you
Hope he shows you the light and comforts you"
She just smiled, pulled out another vile
She said "I know I'll get by with
The man who made me smile
The man who made me smile"
