Lyrics West Texas Waltz - Emmylou Harris
When
you're
ready
for
steady
to
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
pickups
and
Cadilacs,
Fords
and
Renaults
And
dance
like
the
dickens
to
the
West
Texas
Waltz
Grandmammy,
grandpappy
if
you
plan
to
stay
happy
You
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
with
band-aids
and
gauze
Come
dance
like
the
dickens
to
the
West
Texas
Waltz
I
met
a
fine
banker
and
I'd
sure
like
to
thank
him
For
the
credit
he
gave
me
made
me
shout
He
changed
my
whole
attitude
and
to
show
him
ny
gratitude
I
decided
I'd
just
ask
him
out
Yes
I
thought
I
just
might
ask
her
out
I
said
close
up
your
windows,
honey,
lock
up
your
vaults
And
dance
like
the
dickens
to
the
West
Texas
Waltz
We
spent
the
next
to
the
last
dollar
in
the
old
ice
cream
parlor
On
a
milkshake
and
a
malt
and
a
pop
Then
we
heard
us
some
sounds,
there
was
a
honky
tonk
lounge
Right
Next
to
the
ice
cream
shop
Next
door
to
the
ice
cream
shop
Now
only
two
things
are
better
than
milkshakes
and
malts
And
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
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
And
if
anybody
asks
you
why,
just
tell
it's
because
You
been
dancin'
like
the
dickens
to
the
West
Texas
Waltz
