Todd Snider - Waco Moon lyrics

Snider Yellow Rose, Waco Moon Quit too late, you're gonna die too soon Woman with a needle and a silver spoon Holed up singin' the devil's tune. Playin' the blues, payin' your dues Speedin' your young life away I never will get over what I heard about you The first thing New Year's Day. I can't say I felt so sad The truth is I think I'm mad At the selfish way you left your dad When you know what a hard luck time he's had. Sleepin' through a dream come true You just threw all that talent away I never will get over what I heard about you The first thing New Year's Day. Oooh, slippin' away Oooh, New Year's Day. I threw the phone against the wall Falling apart when I got the call I went out walkin' with the weight of it all That's when it hit me like a waterfall. I'm playin' the blues, payin' my dues Speedin' my young life away I never will get over what I heard about you The first thing New Year's Day. Oooh, slippin' away Oooh, New Year's Day. Yellow Rose, Waco Moon Quit too late, you died too soon To the bitter end tried and true Goodbye old friend, we'll be missing you.
