   A
1.There's a light in the kitchen
                                               E
As I cross the valley and head her on into the yard

My wife is watching from that light in the kitchen
                            A
As I cross that old cattle guard
   D
I unload my horses -- Two Bits and Roanie
A                              E
And throw them a few Flakes of hay

My wife comes to meet me with that determined look
                                  A
The first thing that I heard her say

Chorus:
D
Darlin' we haven't gone dancing
G           A        D
For such a long time now

It's been so long since we twirled around the dance floor
E                     A
I've almost forgotten how
D
So gas up the pick-up

I'll bring the babies
         G                         E
They'll stay with the neighbors tonight
        G           A
If the band at the bar
          D            G
Can play waltzes and shuffles
          D              A             D
I'm gonna dance with my own heart's delight


2.So I drank a cold one
I sang in the shower
I pondered upon marriage and such
They say this country was hell on horses and women
I guess it ain't changed all that much
We make a good team my lady and I
I couldn't ask for anything more
If you don't believe me
Just catch us tonight
We'll be the best dancers out on that floor

Repeat Chorus
