OPENER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
*We had a plan, move out of this town, baby
West to the sand, it's all we talked about lately
I packed the car, bring your guitar and Jane for smokin'
First thing at dawn you'd queue the songs,
Allemande and weave
**But you weren't home, waited on the porch for ya
Sat there alone, all throughout the morn' 'til I
Got a hunch down in my gut and snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Hell of blow, you had me believin'
How many months did you plan on leavin'?
What happened? Bad habits? Did you go back? Go batshit?
I loved you...
**Did your boots stop workin'? Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money? Did your ex find out?
Where there's a will, then there's a way and I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye, just wish I knew what caused it
**Was the whiskey flowin'? Were you in a fight?
Did the nerves come get you? What's your alibi?
I made my way back to LA and that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years, you'll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
The heads (sides) promenade and travel halfway around
Walk in square thru 4 hands you go
All the way and then swing thru for me
The boy run, ferris wheel around and then
Square thru 3, 3 hands around and then
You swing with that girl, promenade her back home
I made my way back to LA and that's where you'll be forgotten
In forty years, you'll still be here, drunk, washed up in Austin
