1. The waitress with the orange hair
D
keeps
motionin' me to hurry up and leave.
E
So I gulp my coffee, burn my
mouth, grab up my coat and slippin' out,
E7 A
I smear a streak of mustard
down my sleeve.
A
And the guy behind the
register takes my bread and shakes his head,
A7 D
and
looks at me as though I've blown his mind.
E
Hey, I just come here for some
coffee,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- A
hope
I'm not wastin' anybody's time. And
...
D A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back to you,
E
A
and I wish that I could say I'll
treat you better than I used to.
D A
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never
knew back then,
E A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.
E A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

2. That blue eyed barracuda smiles
D
and
tells me she could use some brand new clothes.
E
She grabs my leg and with a
wink, asks if I want another drink,
E7 A
she's
not the campfire girl you might suppose.
A
But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles, I don't
think she's got time
A7 D
for
any kind of trouble small as mine.
E
Hey, I just come in here for nothin',
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- A
hope
I'm not wastin' anybody's time.
D A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back to you,
E
A
and I wish that I could say I'll
treat you better than I used to.
D A
It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never
knew back then,
E A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.
E A
Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

3. Well, I'm stopped here on the corner,
D
when
the red faced cop says, “Move along your way !”
E
But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb,
E7 A
I think I just might stop inside
that church and maybe pray.
A7
But they pass the plate and
they look at me
D
when
it turns out that I ain't got a dime.
E
Hey, I just come in here to
talk to God,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

hope
I'm not wastin' anybody's time. + CHORUS
E A
+ Judy,
I'm slowly movin' back again. (2x)
