歌曲歌詞
He was a short order cook and not too much to look at
And he traded in his foot for a medal in the war
He loved a girl named Lila in a bar across the highway
And you ought to see him smilin' at her comin' through the door
Lila always knew she wasn't no ravin' beauty
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at sixteen
But she forgets to remember how he left her off in Denver
When she sees her Cooky smilin' as she opens up the screen
And he says
Hi Lila how about a cup of coffee
Take a load off take your shoes off here's the sugar and the cream
Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Cooky pours the trucker's coffee Lila serves the rigger's whiskey
And resists their invitations to go ridin' for a while
'Cause at a diner across the highway on a shelf above the pastry
There's a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her smile
When he says
Hi Lila how about a cup of coffee
Take a load off take your shoes off here's the sugar and the cream
'Cause cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Now as the nation rolls along like a semi down the highway
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the road
I've finally found a reason for believing in the future
Seeing Cooky and his Lila drinking coffee all alone
Oh yes
Hi Lila how about a cup of coffee
Take a load off take your shoes off here's the sugar and the cream
'Cause cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Cooky's been to war lord and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
