VIVA TERLINGUA!
©2021 Brandon Wayne DeMaris and Dave Madden

V1: Have you ever been to New York City
Where the skies are scraped and the lights are pretty
People shuffle around to the beat of their own drum
No idea where they all come from
Well way out West in the state of Texas
You can ease your mind and relieve your stresses
A stones throw from the Grande Rio
You can put your feet up and let it all go
Refrain: At the Starlight Restaurant Bar
In the little ghost town, not to far from Terlingua

V2: I met an old man, his name was Bill
He had a lot on his mind and he was ready to spill
About the Indian Lodge and the CCC
He knew Jimmy Dale and Joe Ely
I met a little girl, her name was Izzy
I called her a kid, she said you gotta be kidding
I’m an adolescent with a reptile brain
I’m a rebel with a cause and they know my name
Refrain: At the Starlight Restaurant Bar
In the little ghost town, not to far from Terlingua
You see the hippies and the cowboys are one and the same
They treat you like your famous, cause everyone’s someone
at the Starlight Restaurant Bar
In the little ghost town, not to far from Terlingua

Bridge:
Take it nice and slow
Sometimes, it’s best to let it all go
Like the moonlight, like the Ro Grande

V3: When I get home, if I get too busy
I’ll close my eyes, think of Bill and Izzy
And a campfire with all my friends
Oh Big Bend, I’ll be back again…
to the Starlight Restaurant Bar
In the little ghost town, not to far from Terlingua
