OPENER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around displaced by feet
Yeah like broken stones
Trying to get home
Allemande left and weave
Like a losers reach too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah so lost and alone, just trying to get home

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru
Dosado, swing thru, boys run
Bend the line, right & left thru
Flutter wheel, star thru
Swing and promenade
Yeah like broken stones, trying to get home

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
Another bit shatters and a little bit gets lost
What else really matters, oh such a cost
Allemande left and weave
Like a losers reach too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah so lost and alone, just trying to get home

TAG

Swing her
Like broken stones, we're trying to get home

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones - they're all trying to get home
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're trying to get home

As another bit shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else truly matters - whoa, at such a cost?

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - (like broken stones) they're all trying to get home
(Yeah, you trying to get home?)

And another bit shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters - oh, at such a cost?

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones - they're all trying to get home
Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone - they're trying to get home

Trying to get home, trying to get home
Like broken stones, they're all trying to get home
Like broken stones
