OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
Pulled out of Linden Texas two days and nights ago
I've been livin' on pills and burgers
Till the whites of my eyes don't show
Walk all around the corner, men star left one time you go
Put an arm around your partner, then star promenade
Boys roll back, allemande left your corner
Weave on down the line
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
Promenade
With your sweet Melinda, my wife
I've been runnin' on empty most of all my life
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
The head two couples promenade halfway around the bend
Lead right and you veer to the left, bend the line my friend
Go right & left thru and you put her in the lead
Do a dixie style, make a wave, now trade the wave, recycle around I say
Square thru 3/4 round and the corner swing
Swing Melinda and you promenade, while a movin' around the ring
I said to you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I've been runnin' on empty most all of my life
