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
