High Plains Jamboree Songtext

von Robert Earl Keen

She was a honky tonker and he was a family man
And she showed him her gold teeth when he? d hold her little hand
And they met out on the highway at the Paradise Motel lounge
On Saturday nights, when things weren? t right
Between him and his wife in town

They? re just another couple on a high plains jamboree
Playing out them sad songs, they understand
Just another couple making juke box memories
Walking into troubles hand in hand

She weren? t no maid of cotton and he weren? t no hell of a man
So they must have loved each other like only the lonely can
? Cause they slow-danced through the neon like a sorrow through a song
Then they carried the tune to the motel room
And they played it all night long

They? re just another couple on a high plains jamboree
Playing out them sad songs, they understand
Yeah, just another couple making juke box memories
Walking into troubles hand in hand
I said, they walking into troubles hand in hand
