Cornmeal Waltz |
There’s nothin' like cornmeal on a dance-hall floor for dancin' the night away, |
Slippin' and slidin', effortlessly glidin' in the arms of my sweet Lillie Mae, |
So I shined up my boots and ironed my shirt, and pulled on some new blue jeans. |
Oh, I brushed off my hat, slicked back my hair; |
I’ll beat all that she’s ever |
seen. |
There’s nothin' like listenin' to the fiddles play |
While doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
There’s nothin' to keep you from driftin' away, |
Doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
Way out on Ranch Road 17 there’s a dance hall in the live-oak trees, |
Yellow lights strung up all around, so all the little kids can see. |
Pickups are parked near to the road; |
the beer is so cold it might freeze. |
Stars are all out, the band’s in tune, and it smells like a barbecue breeze. |
There’s nothin' like listenin' to the fiddles play |
While doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
There’s nothin' to keep you from driftin' away, |
Doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
Beat-up old Stetsons, beehive hair, belt buckles bumpin' in time. |
There’s little girls dancin' on their daddies' toes, spinnin' around on a dime. |
Grandma and Grandpa are out on the floor, dancin' like they’ve lost their minds. |
There’s old maids and bachelors and sweethearts alike, all movin' in |
three-quarter time. |
There’s nothin' like listenin' to the fiddles play |
While doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
There’s nothin' to keep you from driftin' away, |
Just doin' the cornmeal waltz. |
