OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*He turned 35 last Sunday
In his hair he found some grey
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way

Circle left
**Should he hang onto the old, should he grab onto the new?
Left allemande, swing, and promenade her too
He's an old hippie, his new life is a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying to adjust


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads square thru in the middle
And get four hands around the ring you go, dosado
Swing thru and then boys run right
And ferris wheel, centers pass thru
Slide thru and square thru 3/4 more
Swing that corner girl and promenade that floor
Now the world may change around
But he just can't change no more


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*He gets off on country music
Because disco left him cold
He's got new friends and new ways
But he's feeling just too old


**And the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
