Seven long years since that sawdusty floor
Stamped with those footstomps that pounded the score
And we was grinning like daydreams
A half-tank of gas from L.A.

Where the desert winds whipped up, but inside the room
Fiddles and mandolins called out the tunes
It was old country music, with a young Townes crowing his blues
Like a night-time, Lone-Pine Brandy swigging fool

But as his laughing eyes hypnotized, all that there stood
Between me and my lady was a bucket of could the night
Turn into daisies, like a fancy romance novel would?
And on that line, that fine evening, she made good

Oh, and she danced like the flame on a kerosene ribbon
Just flashing her youth as she twirled
And when in the morning her kisses adoringly woke me
We uncurled

But now that lady's long gone, and that old saloon
Stands far from these steel frames and big-city fumes
Well the life here ain't gravy,
But a beggar can't pick what he chews

And then flipping through pages on a magazine rack
I saw that come Tuesday, not far from these tracks
That lonesome-pine cowboy who had lit my life seven years back
He'd be crying love, so I lined up for that act

Oh and I came with a damsel so fair, and she fancifully
Granted one fine dance or two
But the room there was colder, the cowboy was older, and sober
Through and through

And upon the next morning, snowflakes a-falling, I smiled at the frost-bitten truth
That a story, once closed, it can be juxtaposed, but an echo can't ring like it's new
