If they'll play another love song 
If that Miller Highlife sign stays dim 
If you'll keep this glass full of whiskey 
I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him 

I don't want to hear a sad story 
We both already know how it goes 
So if tonight you'll be my tall dark stranger 
I'll be your San Antone Rose 

 Ask me to dance a slow one
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 
So if tonight you'll be my tall dark stranger 
I'll be your San Antone Rose 

Wish I could say I love you 
Wish that he weren't always on my mind 
If wishes were a fast trains to Texas 
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 
but if tonight you'll be my tall dark stranger 
I'll be your San Antone Rose
