Neil Young — The Old Country Waltz 8/11/76

[Verse 1] I'm playin' that old country waltz In this empty hall bouncin' off the wall Ain't got no excuses, I just want to play That good old country waltz [Verse 2] 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 [Harmonica Break] [Bridge] Out the window the moonlight shines on the roofs of the cars While the bar serves tequila and salt And the band plays the old country waltz [Verse 3] This old music has kept me on top And when you're down it's a hard thing to stop I don't need no excuses I just want to play that good old county waltz [Verse 4] And I'm playin' it, that old country waltz In this empty hall echoin' off the wall Ain't got no excuses I just want to play that good old county waltz [Outro] I ain't got no excuses I just need to play that good old county waltz
