I'll Be Your San Antone Rose Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

If they'll play one more love song 

And if that Miller Highlife sign stays dim 

And I'll just keep your glass so full of whiskey 

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

'Cause I don't want to hear those sad story 

'Cause we both already know how it goes 

Tonight, I'll be your tall dark stranger 

I'll be your San Antone rose 

I'll ask you to dance all the slow ones 

Hold you close and walk 'cross the floor 

I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder 

And pretend this never happened before 

I don't want to hear those sad story 

'Cause we both already know how it goes 

Tonight, I'm gonna be your tall dark stranger 

You know, I'll be your San Antone rose 

I wish I could tell you, I love you 

(Don't lie to me) 

I wish that he weren't always on my mind 

But if wishes were fast trains to Texas 

How we'd bide, how we'd ride, how we'd ride 

But I don't want to hear a sad story 

We both already know how it goes 

But if tonight, I could be my tall dark stranger 

(You can be my stranger) 

I'll be your San Antone rose 

I'll be your San Antone rose
