Well, some of the songs have music written for other lyrics, but...What fun is it to leave a good song alone?




                                                                     I DANCE THE LINE

                                                              (with apologies to June and John)


I keep a close eye on these feet of mine.
I keep an eye out for elbows all the time,
I watch for flyin' boots that nearly blind.
Because you're mine, I dance the line.

I find it very,very easy to turn blue
When I'm Honky Tonk Stompin' with the flu,
I swear, sometimes, the things I do for you.
Because you're mine, I dance the line.

One step, two step, left, then right.
I'm loosenin' up my strings most every night,
And, you, you'd Cupid shuffle til it's light,
Because you're mine, I dance the line.

You've got a way with the electric slide.
Yeah, my Maria's got the tush push on her side.
There's fifty ways my outlaw heart near died.
Because you're mine, I dance the line.

I keep a close watch o these feet of mine.
I keep an eye out for elbows all the time.
I watch for flyin' boots that nearly blind.
Because you're mine, I dance the line.

Uno!  Dos!  Tres!

Because you're mine, I dance the line
