They were playing that old country waltz
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,
C12
When I first got the bad news that you set me free,
The band played the old country waltz to me.
Verse:

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.

Bridge:
Out the window the moon shines
On the roofs of the cars,
While I knock down tequila and sa-lt,
And the band plays the old country waltz.
Verse:
(rest) (rest)
And we re playing it, that old country waltz,
In this empty bar echoing 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.
