OPENER C4
Join hands and circle left, circle left around you go
Allemande then curlique, the boys run right you know
Allemande the corner, then weave around the ring
Yes, I'm ridin' my thumb to San Antone
In and out around you go, then swing your own
Hey, promenade around that ring
How long will it be before I see you again?
Yes, I'm ridin' my thumb to San Antone
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade halfway you know
Down the middle and square thru four hands around you go
Swing thru the outside two, the boys run right again
Wheel & deal, a right & left thru and then
Pass thru, trade by, the corner lady swing
Left allemande and promenade
How long will it be before I see you again?
I'm just ridin' my thumb to San Antone
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*This old highway seems so lonesome where you go or where you've been
And a lonesome song can make you cry, time and time again
If I'd listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today
I'd have a better job than what I have today
Left allemande, grand right & left go round
When you meet your own you promenade
How long will it be before I see you again?
I'm just ridin' my thumb to San Antone
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The billboards on the highway and the brake lights on the cars
Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar
If he comes or if he goes, it doesn't matter anymore
Cause I'm ridin' my thumb to San Antone
