When the sun goes down, and the lights come on
And the boys dress up, and head to town
It's Friday night, the work week is done
We're gonna cut loose and have some fun

You can hear the haunting fiddles coming from the old dance hall
You just know they're pickin' partners as the caller starts to call
The neighbors know this is the place where smiles are found
The simple way of life in this square dance town

See the young girls stand, backs to the wall
See the young boys watch from across the hall
Their moms and dads dance heel to toe
As the caller calls that old do-si-do

You can hear the haunting fiddles coming from the old dance hall
You just know they're pickin' partners as the caller starts to call
The neighbors know this is the place where smiles are found
The simple way of life in this square dance town

You can hear the haunting fiddles coming from the old dance hall
You just know they're pickin' partners as the caller starts to call
The neighbors know this is the place where smiles are found
The simple way of life in this square dance town

The boys and girls can't wait to start to dance around
The simple way of life in this square dance town
