Yeah, I'm playing it that old country waltz In this empty bar, echoin' off the wall And I first got the bad news, that you set me free The band played that old country waltz for me Well, I loved, and I lost, and I cried The day that the two of us died I ain't got no excuses, I just wanna ride While the band plays that old country waltz Out the window, the moon shines on the roofs of the cars While we knocked down tequila and salt, oh-oh And we're playin' that old country waltz We're playin' that old country waltz This empty bar, echoin' off the walls I ain't got no excuses, just wanna play That little old country waltz I ain't got no excuses, I just wanna play That little old country waltz That little old country waltz
