lyrics

The bright lights of the city
Sometimes they cast their glow
On my home town of Abilene
When we put on a show

But I was never once prepared
Nor since the truth be told
For anything as wonderful
At a twilight rodeo

And it was not the men that rode
That night my heart she stole

We never danced in the moonlight
But the stars that shine down on this town don’t know
We never danced in the moonlight
But I caught you at the Midnight Rodeo

As quickly as you fell to me
You broke then for the stands
Hopped the one way barricade
Grabbed hold of your man

And I took my last applause that night
And sank into my van
Drove that lonely road back to
My own apartment land

But still drifting through my head
From the rafters to my bed
