[Verse 1]
          F                                                  C
There's a place out on the highway 'cross the San Bernardino line
          F                                                      C
Where the truckers and the bikers gather every night at the same time
             Bb                                        C
At seven the band comes in and locals dance the night away
    Bb    C       F
At Sleepy Joe's Café
 
 
[Verse 2]
           F                                                    C
I drive on down from the big town Friday when the clock strikes five
               F                                   C
As the red sun sets in the ocean, I start to come alive
                    Bb                                                         C
Summer girls in the parking lot slap on their makeup and they flirt the night away
    Bb    C       F
At Sleepy Joe's Café
 
 
[Verse 3]
         G                               C
Joe came home in '45 and took out a G.I. loan
      D                                              G
On a sleepy little spot and Army cook could call his own
           G                                            C
He married May, the highway come in and they woke up to find
          D                                      G   A
They were sitting on top of a pretty little gold mine

[Verse 4]
         F                                                     C
Saturday night the lights are bright as the folks pour in from town
    F                                                      C
Joe keeps the blues playin', at the bar May lays the beers down
  Bb                                               C
I come through the door and feel the workweek slip away
        Bb                                                     C
See you out on the floor and Monday morning's a million miles away
