two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I'm going back to the country
Cause I can't pay my rent

Men star right go round tonight
Left allemande then weave
Can you tell me where all the money went?
I ain't broke, but I'm badly bent


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway around
Walk in and a right & left thru
Square thru 4 hands around you know
With the outsides dosado
Touch 1/4, walk & dodge, partner trade
Boys walk, girls dodge, swing and promenade
I ain't broke, but I'm badly bent

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*They warned me about the city
About those city lights


*Yes, I am just a country boy
Trying to make some sense
