The Old Country Waltz Lyrics

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, oh.

 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

 The good old country waltz.

 The good old country waltz.
