Ed's Redeeming Qualities Lawyers & Truckers
[Verse 1]
She worked in a diner
Cooking eggs and ham
She hated truckers
And that's what I am
She never said "Mornin'"
Or "Have a nice day"
And she never smiled
When I got up to pay
[Chorus]
Why, oh why
Did she have to hate truckers?
We're nice guys
If you give us a chance
We never swear
Around kids or ladies
And we seldom
Wipe our hands on our pants
Why, oh why
Did she have to love lawyers?
I never met one
That cared about love
And sure! I loved her
I won't deny that
Cos she always
Smelled like hot bacon fat
[Verse 2]
She worked in a truck stop
Pumpin' gas and fuel
She hated truckers
Cos she thought we were cruel
She washed my windows
With a dry, oily rag
And she always laughed
At my American flag
[Chorus]
Why, oh why
Did she have to hate truckers?
We always smile
When we take out our cash
We never look down
Little girls' blouses
And we always
Keep a bag for our trash
Why, oh why
Did she have to love lawyers?
I never met one
That liked to have fun
And sure! I loved her
I won't deny that
Cos she always
Wore a clean baseball hat
Why, oh why
Did she have to hate truckers?
We never hit babies
Or tip you a dime
We don't act pretentious
And we don't think in Latin
And we always love you
When we have the time
We'll always love you
When we have the time
