Highplains Jamboree Lyrics - Terry Allen

Ahh, she was a honky tonker 

An' he was a family man 

An' she showed him her gold teeth 

When he'd hold her little hand 

An' they met out on the highway 

At the Paradise Motel Lounge 

On Saturday nights when things weren't right 

Between him an his wife in town 

An' they're just another couple 

On a Highplains Jamboree 

Playing out them sad songs they understand 

Yeah, just another couple 

Makin' jukebox memories 

An' walking into trouble hand in hand 

Well she weren't no maid of cotton 

An' he weren't no hell-of-a-man 

But they must have loved each other 

Like only the lonely can 

'Cause they slow-danced through the neons 

Like sorrow through a song 

Then they carried the tune to the motel room 

An' they played it all night long 

An' they're just another couple 

On a Highplains Jamboree 

Playing out them sad songs they understand 

Yeah, just another couple 

Makin' jukebox memories 

An' walking into trouble hand in hand 

I said walking into trouble hand in hand
