If they'll play another love song 
And if that Miller Highlife light stays dim 
And if you'll keep my glass full of whiskey 
I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him 


Just ask me to dance all the slow ones 
Hold me close and take me 'cross the floor 
I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder 
And pretend this never happened before 


I don't want to hear a sad story 
We both already know how it goes 
So if you'll be my tall dark stranger 
I'll be your San Antone Rose 


I wish I could tell you I love you 
I wish that he weren't always on my mind 
If wishes were fast trains to Texas 
I'd ride and I'd ride, how I'd ride
