Footprints on the sidewalk 
Crush by me in the night
The tavern signs on this old street 
Are stepping stones of life
I walk and walk and search for you 
Half stoned and all alone
How much longer can it be 
To dawn in San Antone

Neon painted pictures 
Flash red and green and blue
I seem to feel you press my back 
And draw me close to you
Memories that break my mind 
Hurt deep when I'm alone
As the night walks slowly 
To dawn in San Antone

I may let a strange girl love me 
Just to keep me from the cold
But when I'm with another 
Your mem'ry's what I hold

I still have the rosebud 
I've bought you for your hair
A half smoked cigarette I saved
Was one I let you share
Time went so fast when you were mine 
But now that I'm alone
There's nothing more that comes so slow 
As dawn in San Antone

There's nothing more that comes so slow 
As dawn in San Antone...
