She played tamourine with a silver jingle
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes
but the one most requested by the man she knew as Cowboy
was the late night benediction at the Y'all come back saloon
In a voice soft and trembling, she'd sing her song to cowboy
Faded love and faded memories
How they linger in her mind
Miles and years played the cowboy like an old melody
out of tune and out of time
Every night in the shadows thinking back on Amarillo
