[Verse 1]
F
He was a short order cook, and not too much to look at
F C
And he traded in his foot for a medal in the war
C
He loved a girl named Lila in the bar across the highway
Bb F
And you ought to see him smilin' at her comin' through the door

[Verse 2]
F
Lila always knew she wasn't no ravin' beauty
F C
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at sixteen
C
But she forgets to remember how he left her off in Denver
Bb F
When she sees her Cooky smilin' as she opens up the screen

[Chorus]
F Bb F
When he says hi Lila, how 'bout a cup of coffee?
F
Take a load off, take your shoes off
F C
Here's the sugar and the cream
Bb F
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
F C F
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream.

[Verse 3]
F
Cooky pours the truckers' coffee, Lila serves the riggers' whiskey
F C
And resists their invitations to go riding for a while.
C
'Cause in a diner 'cross the highway on a shelf above the pastry
Bb F
There's a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her smile

[Chorus]
F Bb F
When he says hi Lila, how 'bout a cup of coffee?
F
Take a load off, take your shoes off
F C
Here's the sugar and the cream
Bb F
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
F C F
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream.

[Verse 4]
F
Now as the nation rolls along like a semi down the highway
F C
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the road
C
I've finally found a reason for believing in the future
Bb F
Seeing Cooky and his Lila drinkin' coffee all alone


[Chorus]
F Bb F
When he says hi Lila, how 'bout a cup of coffee?
F
Take a load off, take your shoes off
F C
Here's the sugar and the cream
Bb F
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
F C F
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream.
Bb F
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
F C F
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream.
