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.
