Four ladies chain, now turn the girl and chain 'em back
Join hands, circle, go walking around
Allemande the corner, weave the ring
Headin' west, another town, another place
Swing your girl and you promenade
Leavin' bad times behind me, I'm bound for movin' on
Got everything I own, I'm headin' west

Heads (sides) lead right, circle half way around
Dosado to an ocean wave, all 8 circulate
Swing thru and boys run
Tag the line, go all the way through
Girl go left and the boy go right
Find the corner, swing and promenade
Leavin' bad times behind me, I'm bound for movin' on
Got everything I own, I'm headin' west

Sides face grand square
Something's telling me it's time for moving
And I've never been one to sit and wait
I'll hit that state line in a freedom state of mind
Never looking back
Allemande and weave
Headin' west, another town another place
Swing your girl and promenade
Leavin' bad times behind me, I'm bound for movin' on
Got everything I own, I'm headin' west

Sides face grand square
There's no one to meet me in the morning
And there's nobody begging me to stay
By sundown tonight I'll be rolling out of sight
Long gone and nothing
Allemande and weave
Headin' west, another town another place
Headin' west, there is sunshine in my face
Leavin' bad times behind me, I'm bound for movin' on
Got everything I own, I'm headin' west
