[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[B]
There's a light in the kitchen as I cross the valley and head on into [F#] the yard.
And my wife is watching from that light in the kitchen as I cross that old cattle [B] guard.
[E] I unload my horses, two bits and ronies, [B] throw them a few flakes [F#] of hay.
My wife comes to greet me with that determined look and the first thing that I heard [B] her say,
[E] Darling, we haven't gone dancing [A] for [B] such a [F#m] long [E] time now.
It's been so long since we twirled around the dance floor, [F#] I've almost forgotten [B] how.
[E] So gas up the pickup, I'll bring the babies, [G#] [A] they'll stay with the neighbors [F#] tonight.
[G] [G#] And [A] if the band [B] at the bar can [E] play waltzes [A] and truffles, I'm [E] gonna dance [B] with my old parsley [E] life.
[A] [E] [A] So [G#m] [B] [E]
[A] [E]
[B] [E] [F]
[F#] [B] I drank a cold one, I sang in the shower, I pondered upon marriage [F#] and such.
They say this country was hell on horses and women, I guess it ain't changed all [B] that much.
But [E] we make a good team, my lady and I, I [B] couldn't ask for anything [F#] more.
[D#m] [F#] If you don't believe me, just catch us tonight, we'll be the best dancers out on [B] that floor.
[C#] [B] [E] Darling, we haven't gone dancing for [A] such [B] a long [E] time now.
It's been so long since we twirled around the dance floor, [F#] I've almost forgotten [B] how.
[E] So gas up the pickup, I'll bring the babies, [A] they'll stay with the neighbors [F#] tonight.
[G] [G#] And [A] if the band [B] at the bar can [E] play waltzes [A] and truffles, I'm [E] gonna dance [B] with my old parsley [E] life.
[A] [E] [A] If the band [B] at the bar can [E] play waltzes [A] and truffles, I'm [E] gonna dance [B] with my old parsley [E] life.
