West Texas Waltz

	  		
A 
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin' 
                                       E 
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car 

Drive right on down to the bright side of town 
                                       A 
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far 
          E                           A 
You'll be happy you don't have to go far 
          D 
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults 
    A                      E                 A  * 
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz 
A 
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy 
                                    E 
You better lace up your best dancin shoes 

Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis 
                          A 
Just by dancin' away your blues 
        E                    A 
Just by dancin' away your blues 
D 
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze 
     A                      E                 A  * 
Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz 

A 
I met a fine  banker and I'd sure like to thank him 
                                   E 
For the credit he gave me made me shout 

He changed my whole attitude and  to show him ny gratitude 
                           A 
I decided I'd just ask him out. 
      E                            A 
Yes I thought I just might ask her out 
       D 
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults 
    A                      E                 A   * 
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz 
A 
We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor 
                                E 
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop 

Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge 
                             A 
Right Next  to the ice cream shop 
      E                    A 
Next door to the ice cream shop 
         D 
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts 
A                                   E                 A   * 
And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz 
A 
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin' 
                              E 
To speak of it's somethin' to do 

If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more 
                               A 
Just as soon as the dancin' is through 
E                          A 
Right after the dancin' is through 
D 
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because 
         A                        E                 A 
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
