Lyrics:

Dust it was settled on the dance floor
The campfires light the desert night
Sweet Mary played the fiddle
Suzanne sat in the middle
A little closer to me than to God

The nights would pass so quickly
But there’s a feeling that still lingers on
As we pass around the tomb
That big yellow moon lights us up
‘Neath the Terlingua sky

We don’t know what we’ve got when we got it
We don’t know what we’re missin’ till we tried it
Looking straight ahead you’ll never see it
It’s just a night ‘neath the Terlingua sky

Well, you know we’re probably too old for this
Maybe the rest of the world is too young
We drive five hundred miles to get loose and get wild
And stay up ‘till the last song is done

We don’t know what we’ve got when we got it
We don’t know what we’re missin’ till we tried it
Looking straight ahead you’ll never see it
It’s just a night ‘neath the Terlingua sky

I don’t ask the Lord for much of nothin’
Just the best for my son and my wife
And to live it to the end with some renegade friends
And one more night ‘neath the Terlingua sky

We don’t know what we’ve got when we got it in our hand
We don’t know what we’re missin’ till we tried it with a friend
Looking straight ahead you’ll never see it again
It’s just a night ‘neath the Terlingua sky
It’s just a night ‘neath the Terlingua sky
One more night ‘neath the Terlingua sky
