West Texas Waltz (feat. Emmylou Harris)

歌詞

When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin' Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car Drive right on down to the bright side of town You'll be glad you don't have to drive far You'll be happy you don't have to go far Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy You better lace up your best dancin shoes Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis Just by dancin' away your blues Just by dancin' away your blues So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz SOLO I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him For the credit he gave me made me shout He changed my whole attitude and to show him ny gratitude I decided I'd just ask him out. Yes I thought I just might ask her out I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor On a milkshake and a malt and a pop Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge Right Next to the ice cream shop Next door to the ice cream shop Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin' To speak of it's somethin' to do If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more Just as soon as the dancin' is through Right after the dancin' is through And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
