OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I came here looking for something
**I couldn't find anywhere else

Boys star right, one time around
Allemande left and weave the ring
***Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Swing that girl and promenade
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Spent some time in San Francisco
**I spent a night there in the can


***They threw this drunk man in my jail cell

*I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
**Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels


***Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 9, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru 4 hands
Right & left thru, veer left
Couples circulate, chain down the line
Pass the ocean, balance
All 8 circulate
Swing your corner and promenade
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield

Trying to find something better
