two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*We left home when we were barely past eleventeen
We've been back and forth all around, through hell and rain

Walk around the corner, see saw your girl
Allemande left the corner, weave around the world
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair
Looks like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere

Dosado and then promenade with your Sue
But I can't change and live the way you want me to

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

1 & 3 square thru 4 hands around you go
With the corner lady swing thru you know
Boys run to the right, ferris wheel and then
Pass thru, right & left thru, turn the girl my friend
Dive thru, square thru 3/4 around the square
Swing the corner lady, promenade home from there
You ain't never gonna be no Bobby McGee, but you ain't trying to
But I can't change and live the way you want me to


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*We spend a lot of time out on the highway
Coming from some town we played along the way

*Every time you leave th stage I know you've had your fill
And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will
