Lyrics I'll Be Your San Antone Rose - Emmylou Harris

I'll Be Your San Antone Rose

If they’ll play another love song
If that Miller Highlife sign stays dim
And if you keep this 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
But if tonight you’ll be my tall dark stranger
I’ll be your San Antonio 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 to go
So, if tonight you’ll be my tall dark stranger
I’ll be your San Antonio Rose
I’ll be your San Antonio Rose
