The Old Country Waltz lyrics

Song information

Artist: Neil Young
Album: American Stars & Bars

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
