She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words
to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested
by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction
at the Y'all Come Back Saloon

In a voice soft and trembling,
she'd sing her song to cowboy
As a smoky halo circled round her raven hair
And all the fallen angels and pinball playing rounders
Stopped the games that they'd been playing
For the losers evening prayer

Faded love and faded memories
How the linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy
Like and old melody out of tune and out of time

Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
He'd dream of better days and ask for faded love
Lifting high his glass
in honor of the lady and her song
He paid his check then lonely walked that broken cowboy home

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words
to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested
by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction
at the Y'all Come Back Saloon

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words
to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested
by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction
at the Y'all Come Back Saloon

She played tambourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words
to at least a million tunes
But the one most requested
by the man she knew as "cowboy"
Was the late night benediction
at the Y'all Come Back Saloon
