two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I used to be a rolling stone, y'know
If the cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road

Allemande left and weave the ring
I used to be a heart beating for someone, but the times have changed
Swing
The less I say the more my work gets done

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Sides (Heads) square thru 2
Dosado, swing thru
Spin the top, go right & left thru
Pass thru and bend the line, slide thru and you
Swing and promenade
Philadelphia freedom
I love you
(omit into Break and Closer)

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
As I live and breathe, this Philadelphia freedom
From the day I was born I waved the flag

Allemande left and weave
Philadelphia freedom took me knee high to a man
Swing
Gave me peace of mind my Daddy never had

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love ya
Shine the light thru the eyes of the ones left behind

Allemande left and weave the ring
Shine the light, shine the light
Shine the light won't you shine the light
...(hold)
Philadelphia freedom, I love you
