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.
