OPENER - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Please don't say I sing like Waylon Jennings
Please don't say I look like Charley Pride
And if you say I sing just like Merle Haggard
Then I know that all you folks are on my side
Circle left
Because I'm just another bar room country singer
Left allemande and then you promenade
Maybe one day, I'll get to Nashville
But you know that doggone road's so awful long
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands
Dosado the corner lady there
Swing thru, boys run right
Half tag the line, scoot back
Boys run right, slide thru
Corner swing, keep that girl, promenade
Maybe one day, I'll get to Nashville
But you know that doggone road's so awful long
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Some folks say I sing like Kenny Rogers
I say Kenny Rogers sings like me
But Kenny sells a million of every single song
I must be doing something wrong
Circle left
Because I'm just another bar room country singer
Left allemande and then you promenade
Maybe one day, I'll get to Nashville
But you know that doggone road's so awful long
