Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

I'll Be Your San Antone Rose

If they'll play another love song

If that Miller High life light stays dim

And if you'll keep my glass full of whiskey

I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him

Just ask me to dance all the slow ones

Hold me close and take me 'cross the floor

I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder

And pretend this never happened before

I don't want to hear a sad story

We both already know how it goes

And if you'll be my tall dark stranger

I'll be your San Antone Rose

Well I wish I could tell you I love you

And I wish that he weren't always on my mind

If wishes were fast trains to Texas

Oh I'd ride and I'd ride, how I'd ride

I don't want to hear a sad story

We both already know how it goes

So if you'll be my tall dark stranger

I'll be your San Antone Rose

I'll be your San Antone Rose
