Waco Moon - Todd Snider

Written by：Todd Snider

Yellow rose waco moon

Quit too late you're gonna die too soon

Woman with a needle and a silver spoon

Holed up singing the devil's tune

Playing the blues payin' your dues

Speedin' your young life away

I never will get over what I heard about you

The first thing New Year's Day

I can't say I felt so sad

The truth is I think I'm mad

At the selfish way you left your dad

When you know what a hard luck time he's had

Sleeping through a dream come true

You just threw all that talent away

I never will get over what I heard about you

The first thing New Year's Day

Oh slippin' away

Oh New Year's Day

I threw the phone against the wall

Falling apart when I got the call

I went out walking with the weight of it all

That's when it hit me like a waterfall

I'm playing the blues payin' my dues

Speedin' my young life away

I never will get over what I heard about you

The first thing New Year's Day

Oh slippin' away

Oh New Year's Day

Yellow rose waco moon

Quit too late you died too soon

To the bitter end tried and true

Goodbye old friend we'll be missing you
