Circle left
Just off the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
Men star right, go once inside the ring and go
Allemande left, weave the ring
Life moves at a slower pace
You swing your girl, promenade her back home
These days that's a special way of life

Heads square thru in the middle
And you get four hands and go
Meet your corner there and do the right & left thru
Veer to the left and couples circulate one time and then
Bend the line, do the right & left thru, hey turn the girls
Well now you flutter wheel go straight across
Star thru and then pass thru, trade by
Swing your corner, promenade
These days that's a special way of life

Sides face grand square
Down home where they know you by name
And treat you like family
Down home, a man's good word and a handshake
Are all you need
Circle
Folks know when you're falling on hard times
Allemande left, swing and then promenade
Those of us raised up down home
