Emmylou Harris    West Texas Waltz written by by Butch Hancock
Flaco Jimenez 

A
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'
                                       E
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car

Drive right on down to the bright side of town
                                       A
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far
          E                           A
You'll be happy you don't have to go far
          D 
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults
    A                      E                 A  *
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
A
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy
                                    E
You better lace up your best dancin shoes
          
Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis
                          A
Just by dancin' away your blues
        E                    A
Just by dancin' away your blues
D
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze
     A                      E                 A  *
Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz

SOLO
  
A
I met a fine  banker and I'd sure like to thank him
                                   E
For the credit he gave me made me shout
                      
He changed my whole attitude and  to show him ny gratitude
                           A
I decided I'd just ask him out.
      E                            A
Yes I thought I just might ask her out
       D
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults
    A                      E                 A   *
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
A
We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor
                                E
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop

Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge
                             A
Right Next  to the ice cream shop
      E                    A
Next door to the ice cream shop
         D
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts
A                                   E                 A   *
And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
A
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin'
                              E
To speak of it's somethin' to do

If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more
                               A
Just as soon as the dancin' is through
E                          A
Right after the dancin' is through
D
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because
         A                        E                 A
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
