They were playing
That old country waltz
In this empty bar
Echoing 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
Haven’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
I haven’t got no excuses
I just want to play
That good old country waltz
That good old country waltz
