G
It's two in the morning on Saturday night
C G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
C G
The onions are frying the neon is bright
A7 D7
And the juke box is starting to play
G
And the sign on the wall says in God we trust
C G
All others will have to pay
C G
It's two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
The short order cook with the Mama Tattoo
C G C
He's turning them hamburgers slow eggs over easy
G A7 D7
Whole wheat down do you all want that coffee to go
G
He never once dreamed as a rodeo star
C G C
That he'd wind up here today at two in the morning
D7 G
On Saturday night at Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
There's a tall skinny girl in the booth in the back
C G
Wearing jeans and a second hand fur
C G
She's been to the doctor then called up the man
A7 D7
And now wonders just where she can turn
G
She stares at her coffee then looks toward the ceiling
C G
But Lord it's a strange place to pray
C G
At two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
There's a guy in a tux and he stands in the corner
C G
Feeding the juke box his dimes
C G
He just had a woman and thought that he'd bought her
A7 D7
But found he'd just rented some time
G
And he couldn't sleep so he came back to see
C G
If anyone else wants to play
C G
At two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
Now there's an old dollar bill in a frame on the wall
C G
The first one that Rose ever made
C G
It was once worth a dollar a long time ago
A7 D7
But like Rose it's beginning to fade
G
She's back of the register dreaming of someone
C G
And how things would be if he'd stayed
C G
But it's two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
The stoop shouldered man and his frizzy haired woman
C G
It's strange how their eyes never meet
C G
He's playing the pinball she's fixing the blanket
A7 D7
Of the baby asleep on the seat
G
And he's out of work and she's putting on weight
C G
Hell they never did have much to say
C G
But it's two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's good eats cafe
G
The waitress Darlene she sits at the counter
C G
Painting her fingernails blue
C G
And the short order cook he yells move it or lose it
A7 D7 G
And pick up an order of stew but someday
C G
A rich handsome man'll walk in and carry her far far away
C G
From two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
A shaggy haired hippie he's finished his meal
C G
And he's counting the change in his jeans
C G
A burger and coffee are eighty five cents
A7 D7
And he's only got twenty three
G
He smiles at Rose and she winks back at him
C G
But Lord that's a high price to pay
C G
At two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
G
A baby faced sailor leans on the phone
C G
And dials the number again
C G
While the guy in the tux tells the girl in the jeans
A7 D7
About the wonderful places he's been
G
And a wino comes in off the street and starts shouting
C G
About the fortunes that he through away
C G
And Rosalie's asking the shaggy haired hippie
C G
If he's got a warm place to stay
C G
And the short order cook takes a five from the till
C G
While Rosalie's looking away
C G
And the onions keep frying the neon is bright
C G
And the juke box continues to play
C G
And it's two in the morning on Saturday night
D7 G
At Rosalie's Good Eats Cafe
