THE DANCE

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

CHORUS
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
And who's to say
You know I might have changed it all

CHORUS

Yes my life, it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

friends in low places

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
and ruined your black tie affair.
The last one to know, the last one to show.
The last one you thought you'd see there.
And I saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes
when I took his glass of champagne.
And I toasted you, said "honey we may be through,
but you'll never hear me complain."

Chorus:
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
So I've got friends in low places.

Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong,
but then, I've been there before.
Everything's alright, I'll just say good night
and show myself to the door.
Hey I didn't mean, to cause a big scene,
just give me and hour and then.
I'll be as high as that Ivory Tower
you're livin' in.

Chorus;


What's she doing now

Last time I saw her it was turning colder
But that was BEERS ago
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder
But where she's now, I don't know
But there's something about this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back, makes me wonder
What she's doing now

CHORUS
'Cause what she's doing now is tearing me apart
Filling up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows
What she's doing now

Just for laughs, I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If she'd ever done the same
I took a walk in the evening wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinking
What's she doing now

CHORUS
