guy clark - cornmeal waltz lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s nothing like cornmeal
on a dance-hall floor
for dancing the night away
slipping and sliding
effortlessly gliding
in the arms of my sweet lillie mae
so i shined up my boots
and ironed my shirt
and pulled on some new blue jeans
oh, i brushed off my hat
sl!cked back my hair;
i’ll beat all that she’s ever seen

[chorus]
there’s nothing like listening
to the fiddles play
while doing the cornmeal waltz
there’s nothing to keep you
from drifting away
doing the cornmeal waltz

[verse 2]
way out on ranch road 17
there’s a dance hall
in the live-oak trees
yellow lights strung up all around
so all the little kids can see
pick-ups are parked near to the road;
the beer is so cold it might freeze
stars are all out, the band’s in tune
and it smells like a barbecue breeze

[chorus]

[verse 3]
beat-up old stetsons, beehive hair
belt buckles bumping in time
there’s little girls
dancing on their daddies toes
spinning around on a dime
grandma and grandpa are out on the floor
dancing like they’ve lost their minds
there’s old maids and bachelors
and sweethearts alike
all moving in three-quarter time

[chorus]
