OPENER Basic
Circle left
*This old highway seems so lonesome when you're going where you've been
And a lonesome song can make you cry, time and time again
Walk around the corner, see saw your own
Allemande left and weave the ring
Riding my thumb to Mexico
Swing a little girl and promenade
I'll ride this thumb till I see her again
So I'm riding my thumb to Mexico
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well the billboards on the highway and the brake lights on the car
Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar
*This old highway seems so lonesome when you're going where you've been
And a lonesome song can make you cry, time and time again
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Well the heads (sides) square thru in the middle and a get four hands around
You make a right hand star and roll it round the town
Heads star left in the middle and turn it once you do
To the same pair and a right & left thru
Pass to the center, centers square thru, count me three
Swing corner, promenade
I'll ride this thumb till I see her again
So I'm riding my thumb to Mexico
