Last Dance Saloon

[Verse 1]
Ran out of gas in the dead of the night
Miles from home not a soul in sight
The wind was stopped the leaves were still
Then I heard some music from over the hill
Well I walked a while to find the sound
Felt like I was going round and round
Then I saw a big neon sign
Said beer and booze we don’t serve wine
I recognized it right away
Where I was I couldn’t say
The band was playing loud as hell
The waitress said boy come in

[Chorus]
This ain’t your local bar
This ain’t the mardi gras
Maybe you’ve come too far too much too soon
This ain’t no Shang Ri La
This ain’t no oh la la
She said it’s what we call the last dance saloon

[Verse 3]
She let me in it felt like a dream to the longest line dance I ever did see
The crowd was one big smiling face my mama warned me about this place
Charles Daniels was leading the band playing boogie woogie fiddle in the no man's land
Good time don’t last nothing will so have your fun just pay your bill

[Chorus]
This ain’t your local bar
This ain’t the mardi gras
Maybe you’ve come too far too much too soon
This ain’t no Shang Ri La
This ain’t no oh la la
She said it’s what we call the last dance saloon come on

[Verse 4]
So leave your stuff between lost and found
The highway sign says turn around
Don’t be afraid to follow it down
To the road beyond the fathers town
A neon light shines brighter than the moon
Go and take your chance at the last dance saloon

[Chorus]
This ain’t your local bar
This ain’t the mardi gras
Maybe you’ve come too far too much too soon
This ain’t no Shang Ri La
This ain’t no oh la la
She said it’s what we call the last dance saloon
She said it’s what we call the last dance saloon
