Overnight Cafe

All alone on the road near the other side of town;

In the dark of the night and the rain was fallin' down;

Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Cafe;

Maybe one for the road just to pass the night away.

Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor

With the look of a woman who's been through it all before;

Then she smiled as she spoke, and it made me realize

That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes;

That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes.

Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town.

Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind?

Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around.

And maybe I could take her home,

Never know what could happen when we're both alone.

Now I'm back on the road and I'm running overtime;

Turn around if I could, and you know it crossed my mind;

But I know I'll be back 'cause she made me realize

That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes;

That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes.
