Luke Bryan - Corner Booth lyrics
Your rating:
He said, "I know this ain't the time or place But Lord I need to talk" In a business suit in a corner booth In a crowded little restaurant We all tried not to listen We all tried not to look But a whole room full of customers And the waitress and the cook All stopped what we were doing When he bowed his head In that silence we heard Every word he said "I been trying to do things my way Down here on life's highway Slipping, sliding, sideways 'Tween no way and nowhere If I could only gain a foothold" "Up there on your high road Lord, if you hear me, help me I'll do anything you tell me to All I've got to offer you is this Backslider's prayer" Well the waitress made the first move When she filled his coffee cup She said, "You ain't alone here mister You're speaking for the rest of us" I heard some scattered "Amen's" And a couple of "I've been there's" Then things got back to normal The dishes and the silverware Were clanging in the kitchen Like an angel's band As I took my place in line To shake his hand ('Cause) I been trying to do things my way Down here on life's highway Slipping, sliding, sideways 'Tween no way and nowhere If I could only gain a foothold Up there on your high road Lord, if you hear me, help me I'll do anything you tell me to All I've got to offer you is this Backslider's prayer If I could only gain a foothold Up there on your high road Lord if you hear me, help me I'll do anything you tell me to All I've got to offer you is this Backslider's prayer
