As recorded by Charley Crockett (From the 2025 Album LONESOME DRIFTER) [Verse 1]
C               Dm7     Em7           Dm7
Mama's air conditioning went out in July

    Em7               Dm7             G  G7
She bought me this guitar, never said why

  C             Dm7       Em7         Dm7
I hastily moved in with a friend of a friend

    Em7              Dm7          C
Who danced in Silver City late at night
[Chorus]
    Dm7              F             C
She danced in Silver City way back when

Dm7           F                     Am
Takin' easy money off the good time men

    Dm7                 F               Am
The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes

       Dm7              F            C
As she danced in Silver City late at night
[Verse 2]
           Dm7
Joshua, my brother

Em7               Dm7
Said he'd help me out

     Em7           Dm7             G     G7
When I took up his offer, I had my doubts

     C            Dm7
Everybody went to prison

           Em7              Dm7
Who didn't die to pay their debt

  Em7                 Dm7          C
I woke up in New York City soaking wet
[Chorus]
  Dm7                 F              C
I woke up in New York City without a name

       Dm7           F                     Am7
Wasn't long before I learned the hustler's game

       Dm7                 F              Am
Just a poor boy from south Texas, you can bet

  Dm7                 F            C
I woke up in New York City soaking wet
[Verse 3]
                       Dm7
Then I met a sparkling woman

      Em7            Dm7
Who's first name was Nell

    Em7                  Dm7            G
She said, "Boy, you're a star and I can tell"

        C               Dm7
But the young are often desperate

    Em7               Dm7
And hardly take their rest

  Em7            Dm7             C
I fell apart the way you might'a guessed
[Interlude] Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 F G [Chorus]
    Dm7              F             C
She danced in Silver City way back when

Dm7           F                     Am
Takin' easy money off the good time men

    Dm7                 F               Am
The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes

       Dm7              F            C
As she danced in Silver City late at night
[Outro] Dm7 F Am
