I was playing in Charleston south in Alabama
The band and I were doing a one night stand
When this man in the crowd came up to me
And he said l-ady let me touch your hand
And he said please play Satin Sheets for me
Oh it would mean the world to me
It's still the greatest song I've ever heard
And that l-ady of mine knew every word
That night when we took our first intermission
He was waiting there beside the bar
He said she's gone she left she loves another
That was our song and it's gotten me this far
And he said please sing it one more time
If you only knew how we loved every line
It's still the greatest song I've ever heard
And that l-ady of mine lived every word
When I started to sing it one last time that evening
Though I've sung that song a thousand times you see
The words to Satin Sheets took on new meaning
As the words the man had said came back to me
