Save the Best for the Last

(Tom Hodge)



People round this town have been here a while

They've been friends long enough to say hello with a smile

Though it feels like coming home is still weeks away

Me and this country band have come here to play



CHORUS



Play a sweet one for the encore and let's soften the pace

Pass my hat to the crowd while you tune up your bass

Slow the tempo down, Charlie, I'll take the mike from the stand

We'll save the best for the last, to send 'em home hand in hand



I'm sorry to hear Fred left us last year

It's so good to see your face, your smile is so clear

I remember how he'd waltz you across the ballroom

Would you dance with an old friend in the light of this moon?

CHORUS



These songs keep me going, and I'm still amazed

At the new faces mixed with those mellowed with age

Oh, for thirty-odd years I've rolled over this land

Me and old Charlie and the rest of the band



CHORUS
