Sides face grand square
*Well you know those times when you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Says "I don't mind if ya kick me, seems like everybody has"
Things go from bad to worse, you'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it [OR Swing and promenade]
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Heads (sides) promenade and you go about half way round the ring
Lead to the right, veer to the left, and the couples trade
You bend the line and do the right and left thru and turn your girl
Touch 1/4 all circulate and then
Boys run around that girl and a right & left thru
Turn 'er and a half sashay
Swing that corner girl and promenade that way
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

*You step off the straight and narrow and you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass to sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie in a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you

*If you're going through hell keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared don't show it you might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
Yeah, if you're going through hell keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it you might get out
Before the devil even knows your there

Allemande left, swing her now
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
