OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*Busted flat in Baton Rouge waiting for a train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Do an allemande left with the corner, turn a right arm around your own
Allemande left the corner, weave the ring
**Well the windshield wipers slapping time
I'm holding Bobby's hand in mine

Swing your girl, and you promenade
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of his soul


**Well freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads promenade you know, it's halfway around you go
Walk in and square thru to 4
Go all the way and then a right & left thru and turn her friend
Veer over to the left and ferris wheel
Square thru 3/4 round you go
Swing your girl and you promenade
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 men promenade in the middle in the middle of the ring
And you run on back and swing you know
Join up hands and circle to the left get a walking and moving all around the set
Do an allemande with the corner and you weave that ring
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Swing that girl and promenade
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
