Well she was a honky tonker
And he was a family man
Yeah and she showed him her gold teeth
When he'd hold her little hand
Bridge
And they met out on the highway at the Paradise Motel lounge
On a saturday night when things weren't right 'tween him and his wife in town
And they's just another couple on a high plains jamboree
Playing out them sad songs they understand
Yeah they just another couple making jukebox memories
And walking into troubles hand in hand
Verse
Well now she weren't no maid of cotton
And he weren't no hell of a man
But they must have loved each other
Like only the lonely can
Bridge
Cause they slow dance through the neons like a sorrow through a song
And they carried the tune to the motel room and played it all night long
And they's just another couple on a high plains jamboree
Playing out them sad songs they understand
Yeah they just another couple making jukebox memories
And a-walking into troubles hand in hand
Just a-walking into troubles hand in hand
