two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Plus

Head ladies center teacup chain
*I've traveled all around this country
In my time I thought I'd seen it all
But today I took a detour down a back road
Through a little town whose name I can't recall

Circle to the left
Americana
Left allemande, then you swing and promenade
Americana, I'll keep holding to the dream

FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads couples promenade you go halfway
Side pair do the right & left thru
Square thru to four go rollin' round the floor
Touch 1/4, then you scoot back
Boy run and all pass thru, tag the line
Leads turn back and you swing and promenade
Overcome with the feeling, I knew I was seeing
America all over again


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I knew the stop would throw me off my schedule
But I parked in behind the five and dime
Then it hit me like a freight train
Just a stone's throw from the fast lane
America is still safe and sound

*There were old men on benches playing checkers
Children playing hopscotch on the square
High above a statue of an unknown soldier
Old glory was still waving in the air
