    Verse 1
    I was 
    sittin' 
    in 

    truckstop 

    Watchin' tumbleweeds 
    roll 
    by 

    Tryin' 
    to read 
    the menu 

    When the 
    waitress 
    caught 
    my 
    eye 

    She 
    pulled 
    a pencil 
    from 
    her hair 

    And 
    leaned 
    across 
    the bar 

    I did 
    my 
    best 
    not 
    to stare 

    But 
    man, 
    she 
    made 
    it hard 

    asked 
    that 
    trucker 
    Verse 2
    next 
    to me 

    Hey, 
    what looks 
    good 
    today 

    He said 
    know 
    what's on 
    your 
    mind 

    And boy, 
    there ain't no 
    way 

    Get yourself 
    some 
    apple 
    pie 

    And 
    something 
    cool 
    to drink 

    know you 
    want 
    the special 

    And I like 
    the 
    way 
    you think 

    Verse 3
    But 
    you can't 
    have 
    the waitress 

    Boy, 
    everybody's 
    tried 

    There's 
    cowboy 
    down 
    in Abilene 

    Who 
    keeps 
    her satisfied 

    They got 
    hundred 
    acre 

    dream 

    That's gettin' 
    closer 
    every 
    day 

    Just 
    few more 
    plates 
    of ham 
    and 
    eggs 

    And 
    few good 
    rides 
    away 

    Verse 4
    Hard 
    times 
    hit West 
    Texas 

    Damn 
    near 
    everything's 
    for sale 

    But there's 
    somethings 
    we hold 
    sacred 

    When 
    everything 
    else 
    fails 

    When we're 
    down 
    to 
    nothing 

    Out 
    here, 
    everybody 
    shares 

    Most 
    of 
    us 
    have lost 
    our 
    dreams 

    So 
    we bought 
    into 
    theirs 

    I've 
    seen 
    her 
    walk 
    Verse 5
    hundred 
    miles 

    Up 
    and down 
    this 
    floor 

    I've 
    never 
    seen 
    her fail 
    to smile 

    When 
    he limps 
    through that 
    door 

    So 
    when you're 
    done, 
    you 
    leave 
    a tip 

    And 
    make it 
    nice 
    and fat 

    And feel 
    lucky 
    you 
    can own 
    a piece 

    Of 
    something 
    like 
    that 

    Verse 6
    But 
    you can't 
    have 
    the waitress 

    Boy, 
    everybody's 
    tried 

    There's 
    cowboy 
    down 
    in Abilene 

    Who 
    keeps 
    her satisfied 

    They got 
    hundred 
    acre 

    dream 

    That's gettin' 
    closer 
    every 
    day 

    Just 
    few more 
    plates 
    of ham 
    and eggs 

    And 
    few good 
    rides 
    away 

    Verse 7
    But 
    you can't 
    have 
    the waitress 

    Boy, 
    everybody's 
    tried 

    There's 
    cowboy 
    down 
    in Abilene 

    Who 
    keeps 
    her satisfied 

    They got 
    hundred 
    acre 

    dream 

    That's gettin' 
    closer 
    every 
    day 

    Just 
    few more 
    plates 
    of ham 
    and eggs 

    And 
    few good 
    rides 
    away 

    Verse 8
    Just 
    a few more 
    plates 
    of ham 
    and 
    eggs 

    And

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
