"Connie" lyrics

"Connie"

That sad old country song that's on the station
Been runnin' through my mind all day today
I first heard it on a jukebox down in Texas
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe

Well, that was sometime back in '67
When you could still get a Coca-Cola for a dime
And I guess that I was glad to be alive then
And I never paid the world no never-mind

And my '57 Ford tuck 'n' rolled and primed and bored
Was a home-away-from-home in every way
That was pretty cherry livin', buddy, back in '67
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe

Well, me and Connie, we was goin' strong then
Livin', lovin', laughin' day-to-day
Makin' out, makin' plans and makin' music
By the jukebox at the New Highway Cafe

Well, all those days are gone, I guess forever
And ol' Connie, she's probably up and married anyway
But I guess that it can't hurt much to remember
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe

And my '57 Ford tuck 'n' rolled and primed and bored
Was a home-away-from-home in every way
That was pretty cherry livin', buddy, back in '67
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe
When Connie worked the New Highway Cafe
