OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Teardrops fell on Momma's note
When I read the words she wrote
She said we miss you, son
We love you come on home
Allemande left, weave the ring
Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
Promenade
I'm 500 miles away from home
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru around and go
Meet your corner do a dosado
Swing thru and then spin the top for me, girls trade
Spin the top one more time and then
Swing your corner, promenade my friend
And I'm 500 miles away from home
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb, and walk and wait
And I'm still 500 miles from home
Allemande left, weave the ring
If my luck had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight
Promenade
I'm 500 miles away from home
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes I'm still 500 miles from home
Allemande left, weave the ring
If my luck had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight
Promenade
But I'm 500 miles away from home
TAG
Yes I'm still 500 miles away from home
