The Buckle Up Saloon

She dances to the rhythm at a place where cowboys gather She dances in the evening and in the afternoon She's got no place she'd rather be and that's a wonderous thing She knows a thousand tunes at the Buckle Up Saloon. She looked for fame and fortune in a place called New York City The price of fame was high and the friendly folks were few Took a train ride back to Texas where some folks still ride horses And thought about the cowboy who hoped she'd say "I do" Well,she plays a lonely guitar and she sings of love and loss And wonders where he calls home and if he's gone for good While she thinks about the music and the memories he left - Sings about the days gone by and hopes he understood She dances to the rhythm at a place where cowboys gather She dances in the evening and in the afternoon She's got no place she'd rather be and that's a wonderous thing She knows a thousand tunes at the Buckle Up Saloon 4-16-18
