(Tempo: Slow and smoky. Focus on the mournful saxophone and the walking bass.)
(Verse 1)
The piano man is tapping out a rhythm so slow,
Watching neon bleed onto this face you used to know.
I see your ghost leaning where the liquor shelf shines,
Oh, darling, tonight, this whole club is serving your signs.
(Chorus)
Where are you, my love? Did the highway steal your name?
The saxophone is crying out a low, lonely flame.
It's a long way from home, and the whiskey's running low,
Tell me, where are you, my love? I just need to know.
(Outro)
My country soul is aching...
(Saxophone note fades slowly into silence)
