Lyrics



Alice

Her name is Alice - She comes from over the sea
She crossed the ocean in a boat called Destiny
He came from Kansas - worked the old rodeo
He crossed the prairie with the wild buffalo

CHO
Oh Alice - can you see the way
Without the neon lights
Oh Cowboy - can you find the way
Without a starry night

They met in Reno at the Hotel Elderado
He's drinkin' whiskey - I guess he's had a few
She's dealin' Blackjack at the Hotel Elderado
Need a lover? I guess she's had quite a few.

CHO

He said "I'll love you, if you won't hold me down
Cause, I'm a drifter and I roam from town to town."
She said "I'll love ya, but it's here I must stay,
We're just to old, I guess, to try and change our ways."

CHO

Repeat 1st verse
