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 the 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"
