Sides face grand square
I come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Allemande and weave
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen, Swing your girl, promenade
We'd drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green

Heads promenade halfway around, walk in and square thru 4
All the way and do the right & left thru
Veer left, you ferris wheel
Square thru 3/4 down
Swing your corner, promenade
*Oh down to the river we'd ride

Sides face grand square
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Allemande and weave
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse, Swing your girl, promenade
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse

Sides face grand square
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Allemande and weave
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive, Swing your girl, promenade
Oh down to the river we'd ride

Heads face grand square
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
