Terry Allen - Highplains Jamboree lyrics
Ahhh She was a honky tonker An he was a family man An she showed him her gold teeth When he'd hold her little hand An They met out on the highway At the Paradise Motel Lounge On Saturday nights When things weren't right Between him an his wife in town An they're just another couple On a High Plains Jamboree Playing out them sad songs they understand Yeah Just another couple Makin jukebox memories An walking into trouble hand in hand Well She weren't no maid of cotton An he weren't no hell-of-a-man But they must have loved each other Like only the lonely can 'Cause They slow-danced through the neons Like sorrow through a song Then they carried the tune To the motel room An they played it all night long
