Question
Hi, I remember my dad playing a slow rock song back in the late 70's when I was a child. I dont know the name of the song nor the artist but I remember some words from the lyrics that goes like "...king of waltz" or "...jocky..." That is all I could remember so far, it is a very slow song with a beautiful lead guitar track in it. I can play the song in my head but I dont remember the lyrics and it is killing me. My dad passed away few months ago and I have been playing the song in my head since. I know the info I provided you is not adequate but I'm trying to see if you recognize it. Thanks a million and God bless you.

Answer
  I don't recognize those particular lyrics, but there is a song called "Hollywood Waltz"  by the Eagles.    It is a slow song, nice vocals, I think it has plenty of Steel Guitar in it.
 It is on the Ealges CD "One Of These Nights"  I think.  

She looks another year older
from too many lovers who used her and ran.
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel
and she's always willing to hold you again.

So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.
Learn how to love her with all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken
and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz.

Springtime and the lady is grieving,
the lovers just stand there with nothing to say.
They got what they wanted, they're packing and leaving
to look for another to love the same way.

So give her this dance, she can't be forsaken.
Learn how to love her with all of her faults.
She gave more than she's taken
and I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz,
the Hollywood Waltz,
the Hollywood Waltz,
the Hollywood Waltz
The Hollywood Waltz

 If this is not the song, please get back with me and I will see if I can do some research on it.
