lyrics

Pawnee Waltz
(Noel McKay)
Back in Pawnee, we were still wild and free and we clung to each other like the sand to the sea. Now those days are nothing but an old memory. Twenty years cold, but they’re still warm to me
And your memory still steals me away.
Back to the dances by the old football field where we parked in my mama’s old grey Oldsmobile. Back before we had troubles and before we had faults. And the band played the old Pawnee Waltz.
Your memory still steals me away.
CHORUS
When we danced the old Pawnee Waltz.
We danced the old Pawnee Waltz.
You might not remember but I still recall how we danced the old Pawnee Waltz.

Now the TV is busted and the floor moans and creaks. There’s a stain on the ceiling where the pipe upstairs leaks.
The couple next door to me argues and fights and I miss you plenty on these hot Ft Worth nights
Buy your memory still steals me away.
Sometimes I just lay here as the hours go by, listening to the screaming and to their baby cry. Then I miss our babies, although they have grown. When I think of you, I don’t feel so alone
Because your memory still steals me away.
CHORUS

I have a TBI, so memory is a big theme of my life. And recently entered recovery, and clear so bring on more memories (like the wonderful show at the Blue Door). My dad was a steeler, starting with Rogers Twins when he was 14. Sneaked him in the back door of a Texas dance hall-he also played with Merl Lindsay before Western Swing slowly began to disappear. http://genejones.bizland.com/ Sclye

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P
