The Old Country Waltz

They were playing that old country waltz

In this empty bar echoin' off the wall.

When I first got the bad news that you set me free,

The band played the old country waltz to me.

Well, I loved, and I lost, and I cried

The day that the two of us died.

Ain't got no excuses, I just want to ride

While the band plays the old country waltz.

Out the window the moon shines

On the roofs of the cars

While I knock down tequila and salt

And the band plays the old country waltz.

And we're playin' it, that old country waltz

In this empty bar echoin' off the wall.

Ain't got no excuses, we just want to play

That good old country waltz.

I ain't got no excuses, I just want to play

That good old country waltz.

That good old country waltz.
