LAST DANCE AT THE OLD TEXAS MOON
(Bob McDill)


Bobby Bare - 1975





Here I am on the fender of my pickup truck
With a bottle of whiskey and a styrofoam cup
The stars are like diamonds, God, ain’t it hot
Sittin' out in this oyster shell parking lot

Oh, the music is playin' soft in the night
And the shadows are swayin' in the fluorescent light
But the last note is fading a moment too soon
It’s the last dance at the Old Texas Moon

There ain't nothin' to do in this one horse town
Except drinkin' beer and drivin' around
Oh, they've all moved to Dallas, all except me
God help a cowboy when he turns thirty-three

Oh, the music is playin' soft in the night
And the shadows are swayin' in the fluorescent light
But the last note is fading a moment too soon
It’s the last dance at the Old Texas Moon
That's all there is for the Old Texas Moon
