Waco Moon

[Verse 1]

Yellow Rose, Waco Moon

Quit too late, died too soon

Woman with a needle and a silver spoon

Holed up singin' the devil's tune

Payin' your dues playin' the blues

Speedin' your young life away

I never will get over what I heard about you

First thing, New Year's Day

[Verse 2]

I can't say I felt so sad

The truth is, I think I'm mad

At the selfish way you left your dad

When you know what a hard luck time he's had

Sleepin' through a dream come true

You just threw all that talent away

I never will get over what I heard about you

First thing, New Year's Day

[Chorus]

Oooh, slippin' away

Oooh, New Year's Day

[Verse 3]

I threw the phone against the wall

Fallin' apart when I got the call

Went out walkin' with the weight of it all

That's when it hit me like a waterfall

I'm playin' the blues payin' my dues

Speedin' my young life away

I never will get over what I heard about you

First thing, New Year's Day

[Chorus]

Oooh, slippin' away

Oooh, New Year's Day

[Outro]

Yellow Rose, Waco Moon

Quit too late and you'll died too soon

To the bitter end so tried and true

Goodbye my friend, we'll be missin' you
