Verse Well she was a honky tonker And he was a family man Yeah and she showed him her gold teeth When he'd hold her little hand Bridge And they met out on the highway at the Paradise Motel lounge On a saturday night when things weren't right 'tween him and his wife in town And they's just another couple on a high plains jamboree Playing out them sad songs they understand Yeah they just another couple making jukebox memories And walking into troubles hand in hand Solo: Verse Well now she weren't no maid of cotton And he weren't no hell of a man But they must have loved each other Like only the lonely can Bridge Cause they slow dance through the neons like a sorrow through a song And they carried the tune to the motel room and played it all night long And they's just another couple on a high plains jamboree Playing out them sad songs they understand Yeah they just another couple making jukebox memories And a-walking into troubles hand in hand Just a-walking into troubles hand in hand
