《West Texas Waltz(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] West Texas Waltz (Album Version) - Joe Ely

[00:00:01] When you're ready for steady to go dancin' romancin'

[00:00:06] Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car

[00:00:11] Drive right on down to the bright side of town

[00:00:15] You'll be glad you don't have to drive far

[00:00:19] You'll be happy you don't have to go far

[00:00:23] Park your pick-ups and Cadillacs and fords and Renaults

[00:00:27] Get out and dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:00:34] My pickup needs a tune-up I better get up and make up

[00:00:38] My mind to get on it today

[00:00:42] The tractor's been actin' up and the sewer lines are backin' up

[00:00:47] But I'll be dancin' tonight anyway

[00:00:51] I'll be dancin' tonight anyway

[00:00:55] 'Cause I count my blessings I don't count my faults

[00:00:59] I like to dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:01:06] Well I found a young cow-dog an' I told him "Now now dog

[00:01:10] You're a borderline collie I'm a borderline fool

[00:01:14] But he had some bad habits he was scared of jack rabbits

[00:01:19] I sent him off to canine school

[00:01:22] I think they call it obedience school

[00:01:27] But when he came back he couldn't tell a cow from a horse

[00:01:31] But he could dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:01:38] Grand mammy grand pappy if you wanna stay happy

[00:01:42] Better lace up your best dancin' shoes

[00:01:46] Come see us don't write us you can stop your arthritis

[00:01:50] Just by dancin' away your blues

[00:01:54] Now just by dancin' away your blues

[00:01:58] So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze

[00:02:02] And come on dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:02:08] Oh yeah hey Mama

[00:02:30] I met a fine lady banker and I'd sure like to thank her

[00:02:34] For the credit she gave me made me shout

[00:02:38] She changed my whole attitude and to show her my little gratitude

[00:02:42] I decided I'd just ask her out

[00:02:46] Yeah I thought I just might ask her out

[00:02:50] I said Close up your windows and lock up your vaults

[00:02:54] And lets go dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:03:01] We spent the next to last dollar in the old ice cream parlor

[00:03:06] On a milkshake and a malt and a pop

[00:03:10] And then we heard us some sounds was a honky tonk lounge

[00:03:14] Driving next to the ice cream shop

[00:03:18] Next door to the ice cream shop

[00:03:22] Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts

[00:03:26] And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

[00:03:33] And the other is somethin' but really it's nothin'

[00:03:37] To speak of it's somethin' to do

[00:03:41] And if you've done it before you'll be doin' it some more

[00:03:45] Just as soon as the dancin' is through

[00:03:49] Right after the dancin' is through

[00:03:53] And if anybody asks you why just tell 'em because

[00:03:57] You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
