Lyrics
1. It's tuesday night in Wickenburg, and there ain't much going on
The barrooms are all empty, all the cowboys have gone home.
The jukebox in the corner plays the old love songs.
Slim and Jenny are dancing arm in arm.
Ch. Patsy Cline sings "Crazy" over you
For 30 years and more it's been their song.
Those crazy dreams are all still coming true
Slim and Jenny have been dancing for so long.
There ain't nobody coming in, and noone's hangin
around. The bartender's watching CNN
He has the sound turned down
Slim pulls Jenny tighter, he can feel her soft and warm
Slim and Jenny are dancing arm in arm
Ch. Willie sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"
And the child they lost is in their arms once more.
They almost didn't make it through the pain
Now they're dancing closer than before.
3. The clock rolls round to midnight, and it stays there for a while.
All that Slim can see are Jenny's eyes, and Jenny's smile.
Jenny holds him closer, she can feel herself reborn
Slim and Jenny... dancing arm in arm
Ch/br. George Strait's singing 'have you got my chair'...
Jenny smiles, then turns and sits him down.
Slim runs his fingers slowly through her hair.
He says 'Jenny, I'd be pleased to walk you home.
1. It's Tuesday night in Wickenburg, and there ain't much going on
Barrooms are all empty, the cowboys have gone home.
The jukebox in the corner plays the old love songs
Slim and Jenny are dancing arm in arm.
