"I Don't Even Know Your Name" lyrics

I Don't Even Know Your Name

Well, I was sitting in a roadhouse
Down on highway forty-one
You were wiping off some ketchup
From a table that was done
I knew 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

I'm in love with you, baby
I don't even know your name
I've never been too good
At all those sexual games
So maybe it's just better
If we leave it this way
I'm in love with you, baby
And I don't even know your name

So I ordered straight tequila
A little courage in a shot
And I asked you for a date
And then I asked to tie the knot
I got a little wasted
Yeah, I went a little far
But I finally got to hug you
When you helped me to my car
The last thing I remember
I heard myself say
I'm in love with you, baby
And I don't even know your name

I'm in love with you, baby
I don't even know your name
I've never been too good
At all those sexual games
So maybe it's just better
If we leave it this way
I'm in love with you, baby
And I don't even know your name

The next thing I remember
I was hearing wedding bells
Standing by a woman
In a long white lacy veil
I raised the veil, she smiled at me
Without her left front tooth
And I said "Where the hell am I
And just who the hell are you?"
She said "I was your waitress
And our last name's now the same"
Cause I'm married to you, baby
And I don't even know your name

Yeah, I'm married to a waitress
I don't even know her name
I've never been too good
At all those sexual games
I never thought my love life
Would quite turn out this way
Hey, I'm married to a waitress
And I don't even know her name

Get me out of here
