In the cities and the counties of this land abound with plenty, far away from home
The old men take their suppers in the bar rooms and the buffets, their pipe dreams gone
Sitting at the half-washed tables, flirting with the half-cute waitress with the tattooed arms
It's nine o'clock, and just an hour to knock off till the music brings it on

Mr. Please!
Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along
To your singing and your sanity
Let your rhythm numb my brain, and your lyrics ease the pain
That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me

Now John, he's down from Dallas, where he left amidst the malice of some years behind
He was drilling oil to feed his boys, and bring his darling roses every Friday night
But when his lovely Josie started cozying up with Ed Posey, John  took flight
Now he's playing cards in Austin, hoping that some guy named Watson blows his mind

Mr. Please!
Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along
To your singing and your sanity
Let your rhythm numb my brain, and your lyrics ease the pain
That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me

On a lonesome Texas highway, driven by a heartache mighty as the midday sun
There ain't no consolation for the empty desolation of a love undone
But when those scattered pieces whisper ghostly secrets, bleeding on that little
Little bit of piece you've won
That f.m. station best not play no declaration aimed at Washington

Mr. Please!
Play that good time country song, and let me tap my foot along
To your singing and your sanity
Let your rhythm numb my brain, and those lyrics ease the pain
That slithers sad and slow and rots the soul inside me
