I’m in love with a waitress and I don’t even know her name.

In “The Beer Drinkin’ Song” (circa 1980) by Lacy J. Dalton, she sings:

Then there’s ol’ Dottie
Down at the truck stop
Been there since we were sixteen
The only thing different, 20 years later
Is the hip size on ol’Dottie’s jeans.

Kathy Mattea’s “She Came From Fort Worth” is awesome:

She was workin’ at a diner just a week ago
When a man from Colorado smiled and said hello
And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees
Where the wind can sing you love songs beneath snow-capped mountain peaks

Brad Paisley’s “Two People Fell in Love” deserves honorable mention. Did y’all see that video?

A great one is Kris Kristofferson’s “Here Comes That Rainbow Again”. Similar in moral payoff to “Chain of Love”, but less overtly sappy.

Another one with a waitress as a main character is Joe Diffie’s “Bigger Than The Beatles”.

Maggie’s Dream by Don Williams.
“And they take her in their stories to places far away
And leave her with the dishes, dreams and quarters.”

Always liked that “Chain of Love” song. Another favorite waitress song tho I don’t believe the girl is called a waitress in song, is Garth Brooks ” Everytime that it Rains”

It’s a newer song but Jason Aldean’s “Wide Open” could rack up there also.
