C The Y’all Come Back Saloon, Oak Ridge Boys
CHORUS
She played tambourine with a silver jingle,
And she must’ve 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 a song to Cowboy
While the smoky halo circled around her raven hair
All the fallen Angels, and the pinball-playing rounders
Stopped the games that they were playinβ
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 dreams of better days and nights of faded love.
Lifts high his glass in honor of the lady and the song,
He pays his check, then lonely walks the broken Cowboy home.
CHORUS
