Ain't No California
Mel Tillis 1978

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Well I live my life on highways, from sea to shining sea
So listen to my story, save yourself some agony

4 ladies promenade
Forget the urge to wander
Partner swing and promenade around the town
Find yourself a woman, get a job and settle down

FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Heads square thru now meet that corner, dosado
Swing thru 2 by 2, now spin the top
Boys move up with a right & left thru, roll away
Curlique, boys run right,
corner swing, promenade in time
Well there ain't no California
Where the water tastes like wine


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Don't you listen to those freight trains as they scream into the night
Forget those greyhound buses, semi-trucks, and airplane lights

4 ladies promenade
Let someone else be lonely
Swing your partner, promenade (like you're told)
Let someone else make sure those lies and stories all get told


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Well there ain't no California where the water tastes like wine
Ain't no big rock candy mountain where you feel good all the time

4 boys promenade
I ain't found that old blue bayou
Partner swing and promenade
Searching for my blue heaven, heard somewhere it's called home
