There's a young man in the corner playing Crazy all night long

Quarters piled high upon the table

He orders Wild Turkey and with a quick wit and a smile

He says, my darlin' you're the one I'll drape in sable



But his baseball cap and his barroom rap tell me a different story

That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes

Just another lonely country boy grown weary of the night

Just another boy with a sinkful of dirty dishes



And where are you tonight

When I left you in my dreams last night

You promised me that we would be breaking free

Where are you tonight



He tells me of the back roads and how we'll ride them all night long

How the days will fade and the moon will hang forever

And the cloud of dust we'll kick off will linger like a soul

And the myth will grow that the two will refuse to surrender



But as I catch us in the barroom mirror with his arm around my shoulder

This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar

And as she stands to leave with the stranger by her side

She can't help but laugh at a life grown so peculiar



And where are you tonight

I don't think I can face tomorrow's light

Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me

Where are you tonight



And where are you tonight

I think I can make it through all right

But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me
