OPENER - CLOSER    Basic

Do an allemande left in the alamo style, rock up to the middle and back
Swing thru, go forward two, rock up to the middle and back
Swing thru, go forward two, turn your partner right
Do an allemande left and weave around that ring
You've got to try a little kindness, show a little kindness
Do a dosado and then you promenade
You've got to try a little kindness, then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on life's narrow-minded streets

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads a right & left thru and turn I say
Do a half-sashay, pass the ocean there, that way
Extend, swing thru, with a right-hand cast-off 3/4
Girls trade, recycle across the ring you do
Sweep 1/4 more, star thru, pass thru
Allemande left, come back, swing and promenade
You've got to try a little kindness, then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on life's narrow-minded streets

Looking back on the days
When I was scuffling for a buck
Not overly concerned with life and love
I was always feeling sorry
For myself and my bad luck
I never stopped to think what life's made of

With my nose to the grindstone
And my shoulder to the wheel
I fought for my daily dollar like a man
Then you came into my life
And nothing else seemed real
I found the answer right here in my hand

Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need

Now my working days seem shorter
Than it ever did before
And the evening breeze gets cooler day by day
And the morning sun is always shining
Down on my backdoor
And your laughter washes all my cares away

And there's not a day goes by
That I don't look up to the sky
And humbly thank the good Lord up above
For bringing you to me in time
To make me realize
That all a poor man really needs is love

Now I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got dreams to dream and songs to sing
In the morning
I've got hands to hold my baby-child
And eyes to watch my woman smile
I've got everything a man could ever need
I've got everything a man could ever need

Lyrics by Mac Davis.
Recorded by Glen Campbell.

If you see your brother standing by the road,
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed.
And if you see your sister falling by the way,
Just stop and say: "Well, you're goin' the wrong way."

Well, you've got to try a little kindness,
Yes, show a little kindness.
Yes, shine your light for everyone to see.
And if you try a little kindness,
Then you'll overlook the blindness,
Of the narrow minded people,
On the narrow minded streets.

Don't walk around the down and out,
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt.
And the kindness that you show every day,
Will help someone along their way.

Well, you've got to try a little kindness,
Yes, show a little kindness.
Yes, shine your light for everyone to see.
And if you try a little kindness,
Then you'll overlook the blindness,
Of the narrow minded people,
On the narrow minded streets.

You've got to try a little kindness,
Yes, Lord, show a little kindness.
Yes, shine your light for everyone to see.
And if you try a little kindness,
Then you'll overlook the blindness,
Of narrow minded people,
On the narrow minded streets.
