i still remember the piano
playing the same old melodies
the late-night crowd
was wild and loud
but then a shot
outside the bar-room¡­.

and then i saw you for the first time
the way you stepped out of the dark
up to the bar
said: ¡°here we are¡­
whiskey for me,
for you tequila¡±

the devil send you to lorado
because he knew that i was there
a man with such a face
in such a lonesome place
can only be a desperado

the devil send you to lorado
because he knew that i was there
and when i heard you´d stay
i felt right away
you´d shake my life
like a tornado

i still remember the piano
playing a different melody
you won at cards
you won at darts
left all the men without a dollar

and now you gotta leave lorado
they want you out of here by noon
oh, i can tell
i´m in a spell
so here we go to amarillo¡­..
