Dawn In San Antone Lyrics - The Browns

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
