In The Back Room Tonight

Carl Smith


Light the candle pour the wine start the music
Clear the floor start the dance and dim the lights
Put your little arms around me for the last time
While we're dancing in the back room tonight

I won't make it to the chapel tomorrow
I won't be there when they start throwing rice
I had rather go on with all my memories
Like i've had in this old back room tonight

These old walls could tell a lot but they're not talking
What they know i know will always be kept quite
So he won't know that you dropped by to see me
And we're saving the back room tonight
