Dawn In San Antone Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

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 say 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
