| The father-daughter dance
|
| Was only two weeks away
|
| They asked her if she was planning to go
|
| The only thing she could say
|
| Was my daddy is not around
|
| He’s locked in a jail on the outskirts of town
|
| I wish we could dance on that Saturday night
|
| But I’ll have to turn it down
|
| 'Cause my daddy is not around
|
| The little girl wrote to the sheriff
|
| Her request was unusual
|
| Would you be willing to put on a dance
|
| Since my father cannot come to school
|
| My daddy is not around
|
| He’s locked in your jail on the outskirts of town
|
| I wish we could dance on that Saturday night
|
| Please don’t make me turn it down
|
| 'Cause my daddy is not around
|
| The dance was held at the prison
|
| Her dad wore a shirt and tie
|
| He told her you look like a princess to me
|
| May I have this dance tonight
|
| And their feet never touched the ground
|
| They forgot where they were on the outskirts of town
|
| They were dancing together on a Saturday night
|
| He spun her around and around
|
| And their feet never touched the ground
|
| After the final song played
|
| And the schoolbus drove away
|
| Alone in the dark his heart broken in two
|
| Her daddy began to pray
|
| Dear Jesus my girl needs her dad around
|
| Not locked in a jail on the outskirts of town
|
| Then we could dance every Saturday night
|
| I don’t want to let her down
|
| Help me turn my life around
|
| 'Cause my girl needs her dad, around |
