Look at Her Now

Look at Her Now She’s a college grad who’s been waiting tables downtown For the past two years just to keep her feet on the ground Every morning she shows up to serve with a smile on her face So you’d never even guess she’s been dying to leave this place To where she no longer heeds the request of the higher-ups Running back and forth ‘cause the soup ain’t hot enough And she’ll finally do what she’s on this earth to do With the voice of an angel and words that ring loud and true How about you? She will wait and she’ll wait Filling glasses, stacking plates Always told she’d be something great Well look at her now She rolls a thin cigarette after work on the front porch steps Outside her parent’s house, living like she never left Slowly drowning in debt for the lessons learned out of state And all the books she bought but never opened anyway Any day now, any day She will wait and she’ll wait Turning tables, passing dates Always swore she’d be something great Well look at her now Look at her now She will wait and she’ll wait Go in early, get out late The real world is just a figure eight She’s been running around But just you wait Someday you’ll be on the interstate Chasing glory, fighting fate And all these folks stuck here will say “Look at her now”
