Lyrics
There was a time when she used to dance in Reno
And she’d brag, like some minor leaguer might.
But she knew, her last call had been a while before So she thought I could be her something new
One more dance, then this whole thing is over One more lie, then you’ll see that I am true One black eye, another thing she’ll justify
She said let’s wait ‘til the morning
So I can see my other baby tonight.
Gently used, like an old dress you’d borrow Gently used, like some lady’s Subaru
Not amused by anything that I can do
She said let's wait til the morning
So I can see my other baby tonight.
Gently used, well she looked right out the window And she felt the responsibility
But she dreamed of something she won’t ever be She said let's wait til the morning
So I can see my other baby tonight.
She said let's wait til the morning
So I can see my other baby tonight.

Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald says, "You have to have smarts and heart to turn the same three chords Buddy Holly used into something fresh. On Matt York’s “Boston, Texas,” the singer-songwriter uses basic building blocks — Holly’s chords, Hank Williams’ swagger, Steve Earle’s boozy wisdom, Paul Westerberg’s straight-up-drunk wisdom — to construct an album of beauty, optimism and heartbreak".
