Neil Young The Old Country Waltz Lyrics

The Old Country Waltz Lyrics

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.
