(Verse) So just why they called this happy hour Well I feel like crying out loud ‘Cause if we called it cheap drinks for losers, Joe said We wouldn’t have much of a crowd (Verse) On a barstool sits a man with a guitar in his hand And he’s mixing up the blues Said metaphors and boots And his version of the truth is barely any proof He’s just trying to raise a ramp where he used to raise the roof (Verse) And the places that he plays these days Are filled with empty chairs And the stations that once played his songs Are long gone off the air Stacks of unsold A Tracks sit on his trailer floor And the places that he used to pack Have closed their swinging doors (Chorus) Silver hair and silver wings, hear the saddle cowboy sing For the lights and would you catch a falling star? On the goal of one big hit Letras de cancionesNow it’s strictly drinks and tips for which he sings Silver hair and silver wings (Verse) And he dreams that he’s back at that 3 teardrops tavern And he’s laughing with Little John and Boone Adored by the best looking women in Dallas They knew every word of every tune (Verse) But the whiskey stained his portrait and graveled up his mind But his voice still sounds like glass packs on sweet ol’ 59 Some folks think he’s stubborn Some say he just can’t say The difference between quittin and knowin when to leave (Chorus) Silver hair and silver wings, hear the saddle cowboy sing For the lights and would you catch a falling star? On the goal of one big hit Now it’s strictly drinks and tips for which he sings Silver hair and silver wings (Bridge) And he cries 3 little teardrops for some damn ol’ bar room Closed 15 years ago And he’s heartsick and lonesome And he’s stuck on that road sign And years are beginning to show (Verse) In each man there’s a heart And this man bares a head Wasn’t all that smart The others half near dead As he signs he chokes down The tears of a clown And he feels like that joke has been going well around (Chorus) Silver hair and silver wings, hear the saddle cowboy sing For the lights and would you catch a falling star? On the goal of one big hit Now it’s strictly drinks and tips for which he sings Silver hair and silver wings Silver hair and silver wings From Letras Mania
