Letras
I was drivin' for a while, my eyes were heavy
I was running low on gasoline
So I stopped into a little town where no one really was around
And a neon sign said open in bright green
Linda works at the diner down on Main
She's never met a stranger, knows everybody's name
Always talkin' 'bout the weather, never wonders why
She's been there for forever, eighty-four or maybe five
Youngest boy is headed off to college
First one up the family tree
And her oldest won't quit workin' nights in North Dakota weldin' pipes
Says the money's just too damn good to leave
But she keeps the coffee comin', and man it hits just right
And we could all use a little Linda in our lives
Linda drives a navy blue old Buick
It was her grandma's and her mom's and now it's hers
Says she's gonna drive it to the grave '
Cause all the money that she saves
Tends to wind up in the offering plate at church
She asked me if I had a family
And why the hell that I was passin' through
I just said that we ain't close but funny enough I'm headed home
And I ain't been there in a year or two
She just says, oh honey, you're gonna make this mama cry
And we could all use a little Linda in our lives
It was time for me to get back on the highway
Part of me just didn't wanna leave
'Cause she shared her love and shared
Her light and made this old boy realize
The biggest problem's always been me
One thing Linda never asked me
Was how I got that Rolex on my wrist
So when it came time for the bill I figured, aw what the hell
And left a handful of zeros on the tip
Nobody said a word, we both had tears in our eyes
And we could all use a little Linda in our lives
I'll never forget, she said to me, it's easier to be nice
And we could all use a little Linda in our lives
