Jerry Jeff Walker - Where Was I lyrics

rate me

Paul Thorn, Billy Maddox, Anna Lisa Graham

On a black and white TV, in a dark saloon

I was watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon

And later on I got high and climbed up on the bar

I told everybody there I could fly above the stars

I was in a Dallas disco the night that John Lennon died

And the DJ played "Imagine" and everbody cried

I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands

All we were saying them "Let's give peace a chance"

Chorus:

Where was I when you stopped loving me?

When did I become history?

There's not many things that escape my memory

Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?

Every 20,000 years that comet lights up the night

On a blanket we watched it sail across the sky

A moment like that comes it just once in life

It felt like our first time at 11:35

Chorus

Bridge:

I remember when I met you, the taste of our first kiss

I remember your goodbye, but would you tell me this?

Chorus
