'Ain't no fun to be alone in San Antone'

It's another Saturday night down in San Antonio
And I looked for you from the river walk to the Alamo
I checked out all the hangouts but your whereabouts were unknown
And it ain't no fun to be alone down in San Antone

I thought you were my San Antone rose
And I was your hillbilly romeo
The way that you held me I thought you'd never go
But then you left me all alone down in San Antonio

You said we could meet at the Cafe Carmelita
So while I waited on you I had me a few margaritas
Now it's closin' time and they're sayin' that I'm gonna have to be movin' on
And it ain't no fun to be alone in San Antone

I thought you were my San Antone rose
And I was your hillbilly romeo
The way that you held me I thought you'd never go
But then you left me all alone down in San Antonio
You know, it ain't no fun to be alone down in San Antone

'Ain't no fun to be alone in San Antone' was originally included on the following album:

'Back in the Fire' Epic Records (1988)
