OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
This old man and me, were at the bar and we
were having us some beers and swapping "I don't cares."
Men star by the right, one time around alright
Allemande that corner girl and weave around the ring
We talked about God's grace, and all the trouble we raised
(Swing and promenade)
Then I heard the old man say
"God is great, God is good, people are crazy"
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head (side) couples promenade halfway around
Sides (heads) do the right & left thru
Square thru in the middle and go 4 hands around, let's go
Dosado and do an eight chain 4
*Talk and politics, blond haired and redhead chicks
Swing the corner then you all promenade
God is great, livin' is good, and people are crazy
ALTERNATE LYRICS (Last figure)
*Old dogs and new tricks, habits we ain't kicked
We pondered life and death, he lit a cigarette
Last call is 2:00 AM, I said goodbye to him
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle to the left
He said "I fought two wars, been married and divorced
What brings you to Ohio?"
Men star by the right, one time around alright
Allemande that corner girl and weave around the ring
We talked an hour or two, about every girl we knew
Then I heard the old man say
"God is great, God is good, and people are crazy"
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle to the left
Then one sunny day I saw the old man's face
Front page obituary; he was a millionaire-y
Men star by the right, one time around alright
Allemande that corner girl and weave around the ring
He left his fortune to some guy he barely knew
(Swing and promenade)
Yeah, but me, I'm doin' well
God is great, God is good, and people are crazy
