The Hooters - Graveyard Waltz lyrics

rate me

I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run

Past this lonesome graveyard where the highway meets the sun

Well that old graveyard's been around since the civil war

I had a feelin' that I'd been here before

I heard a voice, it was talkin' real slow

She said it's time to make a choice, is it yes or is it no

I said ok, do what you wanna do

Then she took me to a world I never knew

Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts

We were doin' that graveyard waltz

After all is said and done we were just too young

To be doin' that graveyard waltz

Next thing I knew the first dance was done

But this magic carpet ride had just begun

Heaven only knows where she learned to drive

Between the tombstones and the ones still left alive

And then that old soul band began to play

In triple time, she was begging me to stay

And when the masquerade had started up again

She said this is the night that never ends

Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts

We were doin' that graveyard waltz

After all is said and done we were just too young

To be doin' that graveyard waltz

I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run
