Flaco Jimenez - West Texas Waltz lyrics
Your rating:
When you're ready for steady go dancin', romancin' Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car Drive right on down to the bright side of town You'll be glad you don't have to drive far You'll be happy you don't have to go far Park your pick-ups And Cadillacs and Fords and Renaults Then dance like the dickens To the West Texas Waltz Grandmammy and grandpappy, if you wanna stay happy Better lace up your best dancin' shoes Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis Just by dancin' away your blues Just by dancin' away your blues So bind up your bunions And band-aids and gauzes And come dance like the dickens To the West Texas Waltz I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him All the credit he gave me made me shout He changed my whole attitude and to show him my gratitude I decided I'd just ask him out Yes, I thought I just might ask him out I said, "Close up your windows And lock up your vaults Lets go dance like the dickens To the West Texas Waltz" We spent the next two last dollar in the old ice cream parlor On a milkshake and a malt and a pop Then we heard us some sounds, it was a honky tonk lounge 'Bout next to the ice cream shop Next door to the ice cream shop Now only two things are better Than milkshakes and malts One is dancin' like the dickens To the West Texas Waltz And the other is somethin' but really it's nothin' To speak of, it's somethin' to do And if you've done it before you'll be doin' it some more Just as soon as the dancin' is through Right after the dancin' is through If anybody asks you why Just tell 'em it's because You been dancin' like the dickens To the West Texas Waltz
