The Cedar Saloon

歌词

[Verse 1] The sign still swings above the door, Though nobody comes to sweep the floor. I hear old boots in the sawdust grain, And a fiddle calling through the rain. [Chorus] Those were the years at the Cedar Saloon, Cards on the table, a borrowed tune. We raised our glasses, we let time roll, With a fiddle in the rafters and dust on our souls. [Verse 2] Mabel kept the rye behind the bar, And Joe swore he could outrun a star. The sheriff smiled when the piano played, While every promise was a bet we made. [Chorus] Those were the years at the Cedar Saloon, Cards on the table, a borrowed tune. We raised our glasses, we let time roll, With a fiddle in the rafters and dust on our souls. [Bridge] Now the hinges rust, and the lamps burn low, But I still know the way those stories go. One more toast to the friends we knew, And the floor that held us when the night ran through. [Final Chorus] Those were the years at the Cedar Saloon, Cards on the table, a borrowed tune. We raised our glasses, we let time roll, With a fiddle in the rafters and dust on our souls. [Outro] The sign still swings above the door, And I hear those boots on that old wood floor.
