Well, you walk around your corner, come back do a dopaso
Turn your partner left, corner by the right, partner left and go
Make an allemande thar, the boys back in and back right down the line
Well, slip the clutch, left allemande and weave on down the line
*Well, here I sit singing my songs, drinking in a smoke filled bar
Gonna dosado, go once around and promenade from where you are
**Well, I've been living on dreams so long, lost touch with the real side of life
This music cost me a Cadillac, three kids, a dog and my wife

1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade halfway and go
Come down the middle with a right & left thru, turn the little girl and go
You'll flutter wheel in the middle and go, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru, a dosado, go once around that floor
Swing thru, boys trade, turn thru and then
Left allemande that corner, hey promenade and then
Well, I've been living on dreams so long, lost touch with the real side of life
This music cost me a Cadillac, three kids, a dog and my wife

Well, you walk around that corner, gonna see saw around your own
Well, join your hands and circle to the left, go walkin' around you roam
Men step in a right hand star, roll it around in time
Left allemande that corner girl, now weave on down the line
Well, I was just a little bitty boy when I got my first guitar
Gonna dosado go once around and promenade from where you are
Well, dad turned to me and shook his head, said "Son, it's bound to ruin your life"
This music cost me a Cadillac, three kids, a dog and my wife
