Intro
Verse
They were playing that old country waltz
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,
When I first got the bad news that you set me free,
The band played the old country waltz to me.
Verse
Well, I loved, and I lost, and I cried,
The day that the two of us died,
Ain't got no excuses, I just want to ride,
While the band plays the old country waltz.

On the roofs of the cars,
While I knock down tequila and sa-lt,
And the band plays the old country waltz.
Verse
And we're playing it, that old country waltz,
In this empty bar echoing off the wall,
Ain't got no excuses, we just want to play
That good old country waltz,
I ain't got no excuses, I just want to play
That good old country waltz,
