The Oak Ridge Boys - Y'all Come Back Saloon lyrics
[The Oak Ridge Boys - Y'all Come Back Saloon lyrics]
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 a 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
Smokey 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 an 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
Faded love and faded memories how
They linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy like an old
Melody out of tune and out of time
Faded love and faded memories how
They linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy like an old
Melody out of tune and out of time
And she must have known the words
To at least a million tunes
But the one most requested by the
Man she knew a 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
Smokey 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 an 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
Faded love and faded memories how
They linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy like an old
Melody out of tune and out of time
Faded love and faded memories how
They linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy like an old
Melody out of tune and out of time
