[Verse]
DWhen A7you're Dready for steady to go dancin', romancin',
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your cAar,
Drive right on down to the bright side of town,
You'll be glad you don't have to drive Dfar,
You'll be Ahappy you don't A/Ehave to go Dfar,
Park your pickups aGnd Cadillacs, Fords and Renaults
And Ddance like the dickens to the AWest Texas DWaltzC#m Bm7
DMy pickup needs a tune-up, I better get up and make up,
My mind to get on it Atoday, the tractor's been actin' up,
And the sewer lines are backin' up,
But I'll be dancin' tonight Danyway,
I'll be Adancin' tonight anyDway.
'Cause GI count my blessings, I don't count my faults
I like to Ddance like the dickens to the West ATexas DWaltzC#m Bm7
DWell I found a young cow-dog and I told him: "Now, now doh.
"You're a borderline Collie, I'm a Aborderline fool."
But he had some bad habits he was scared of jack rabbits.
I sent him off to canine Dschool.
I think they Acall it obedience Dschool.
When he Gcame back, he couldn't tell a cow from a horse,
But he could Ddance like the dickens to the AWest Texas DWaltzC#m. Bm7
DGrandmammy, grandpappy if you wanna stay happy,
Better lace up your best dancin' Ashoes,
Come see us, don't write us,
You can stop your arthritis just by dancin' away your Dblues,
Now just by Adancin' away your Dblues.
So Gbind up your bunnions with band-aids and gauze,
And come out Ddance like the dickens to the AWest Texas DWaltzC#m, Bm7
Oh yeah.

DI met a fine lady banker and I'd sure like to thank her,
For the credit she gave me made me A/Eshout,
She changed my whole attitude,
And to show her a my gratitude,
I decided I'd just ask her Dout,
Yeah, I A7thought I just Em6might ask her Dout.
I said Gclose up your windows, and lock up your vaults,
And lets go Ddance like the dickens to the AWest Texas DWaltzC#m. Bm7 A
We spent the Dnext two last dollars in the old ice cream parlor,
On a milkshake and malted A7pop,Em6
And then we Aheard us some sounds it was a honky tonk lounge,
Right next door to the ice cream Dshop,
Next Adoor to the ice cream Dshop.
Now Gonly two things are better than milkshakes and malts,
And one is Ddancin' like the dickens to the AWest Texas Dmaj7Waltz.C#m Bm7
And the Dother is A6somethin' but Dreally it's nothin'.
To speak of, it's somethin' to Ado, if you've done it before.
You'll be doin' it some more, just as soon as the dancin' is Dthrough.
Right Aafter the dancin' is Dthrough.
And if Ganybody asks you why, just tell 'em because.
You been Ddancin' like the dickens to the AWest Texas DWaltzC#m. Bm7
