All throughout Texas there's stages with legends
They'll play country music for you
We ain't played them all but there is a hall
Near Driftwood out ranch road one two
They've got cold margaritas hot señoritas
Even on the warmest of days
Cool a/c blowing the music starts flowing
And the dancers all come out to play
So let's sing along to the greatest of songs
Grab a cold one with lime and salt
New boots with shine in three quarter time
As the band plays the Mercer Waltz.
Ask Nick and Gay to see what they say
About how many tons of AC
They keep it chilly and when they play Willie
That dance floor's the best place to be
Up on the wall at the back of the hall
The artists jot down their names
If you're lucky as I am, then you'll get to write in
Cuz you've had your boots on that stage
So let's sing along to the greatest of songs
Grab a cold one with lime and salt
That fresh hickory shine in three quarter time
As the band plays the Mercer Waltz
So let's sing along to our new favorite song
I'll grab a cold one with lime and salt
First Sundays you'll find folks waiting in line
To dance to the Mercer Waltz
So let's dance to the Mercer Waltz
