I Don’t Even Know Your Nmae - Alan Jackson (video with Jeff Foxworthy)
Well I was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41
You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done
I knw you didn’t see me, I was in a corner booth
Of course you weren’t my waitress mine was missing her front tooth
So I flagged you down for coffee
But I couldn’t say a thing
But I’m in love with you baby and I don’t even know your name
And that Reba song from over the summer… Somewhere Out There ?? (wasn’t very good).
Truth be told, if I searched long enough, I could fill this thread with Country Music songs with that theme.
He played in the minors, he was a puck stop
One day he drove into this truck stop
When he saw her above the crowd and the din
And his heart made a noise like a truck you forgot to plug in
His Only Need by Wynonna Judd, her first solo single:
Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will.
How about C W McCall’s “Old Home Fill’er-Up an’ Keep On-a- Truckin Cafe”.
It was a really sweet series of TV commercials (for Old Home bread) played in the upper midwest in the late 1970s about a trucker falling for the truck-stop waitress. The commercials were so popular that an album with the song was released. Chip Davis provided the music (he went on to start Mannheim Steamroller), and McCall came out a year later with “Convoy”.
