Cornet McGraw from Smackover,
Strange things happen in this life
I'm going west on Interstate
Just the other side of Memphis
I found a little truck stop on my way
I drove all night and I fell asleep
and I needed me a cup of coffee
I got out, walked in and I had a seat
I looked up and behind the counter
was a pretty little blonde -haired waitress
I said, honey, come over,
She looked up with big blue eyes
and put her head right on my shoulder
I bet you're from Tennessee
We talked a while and I knew right off
that she had had a bad life
No man had ever shown her tenderness
But I had to love this good woman lady
That's just the story about
Strange things happen in this life
Quannette McGraw from Smackle,
She's a mother and she's my wife
That's just the story about
Strange things happen in this life you
