COWTOWN
In a court yard down the alley
There’s a grave yard, weeds and litter
Memories, undisturbed, await their doom
Beneath the glitter of COWTOWN
You take a building, old and crooked
Long ago the life forsook it
Paint it up and name it
Since nineteen five they claim
It lived in COWTOWN
Where the memories are cheap
And they don’t run too deep
There’s no sign on the trail that leads
To the grave yard, trash and weeds
In COWTOWN
Take a picture of your daughter
Up on stage with Texas Water
Died feathers, leather halter
And the cowboy boots you bought her
In COWTOWN
Where the memories are cheap
And they don’t run too deep
And there’s no sign on the trail
That leads to the grave yard,
trash and weeds in COWTOWN
Well, it’s not ‘cause folks are fickle
They just can’t make one damn nickel
Off of something they don’t own
So they leave it alone, in COWTOWN
In a court yard down the alley
There’s a grave yard, weeds and litter
Where memories, undisturbed, await their doom
Beneath the glitter of COWTOWN.

I was talking about the Wight Hotel, directly across the street from The White Elephant. The things you mention were going on when The Beer Garden 1st took over that rat hole between the Elephant and the steak house.
