Y'all Come Back Saloon

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
 And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
 But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
 Was the late night benediction at the Y'all Come Back Saloon
 In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her song to cowboy
 As a smoky halo circled round her raven hair
 And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
 Stopped the games that they'd been playing for the losers evening prayer
 Faded love and faded memories
 How they linger in her mind
 Miles and years played the cowboy
 Like and old melody out of tune and out of time
 Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
 He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
 Lifting high his glass in honor of the lady and her song
 He paid his check then lonely walked the broken cowboy home
 She played tambourine with a silver jingle
 And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
 But the one most requested by the man she knew as "cowboy"
 Was the late night benediction at the Y'all Come Back Saloon
 She played tambourine with a silver jingle
 And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
 But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
 Was the late night benediction at the Y'all Come Back Saloon
 She played tambourine with a silver jingle
 And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
 But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy
 Was the late night benediction at the Y'all Come Back Saloon
