west texas waltz  Emmylou Harris



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