Lyrics

High Plains Jamboree

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

She was a honkytonker and he was a family man

And she showed him her gold teeth when he'd hold her little hand

And they met out on the highway at the Paradise Motel lounge

On Saturday nights when things weren't right between him and his wife in town

Chorus:

They're just another couple on a high plains jamboree

Playin' out those sad songs they understand

Just another couple makin' juke box memories

Walkin' into troubles hand in hand

She weren't no maid of cotton and he weren't no hell of a man

So they must have loved each other like only the lonely can

'Cause they slow-danced through the neon like a sorrow through a song

Then they carried the tune to the motel room and they played it all night long

(Repeat Chorus)
