I TOLD MY LOVE I WANNA TAKE HER OUT
THEY'RE HAVING A DANCE
DOWN AT THE FIREHOUSE TONIGHT
THERE'S A BAND THAT WE LOVE
AND WE AIN'T SEEN IN A WHILE
AND SHE SAID "I'D LOVE TO GO"

I PICKED HER UP
SHE WAS ALL DECKED OUT
YOU SHOULD OF SEEN THE HEADS TURN
WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR
AND I WAS PROUD WHEN THE BAND
PLAYED A SONG THAT WE KNEW
AND CALLED IT OUR OWN

I HELD HER SO TIGHT
ALL AROUND THE FLOOR
SO TIGHT TO THE "QUARTER TONES"
SO TIGHT I HELD HER CLOSE

I TOOK MY LOVE FOR A WALK OUTSIDE
WE'RE GONNA COOL DOWN
UNDER THAT MOON LIT SKY
THE STARS WERE SHINING
SHE WAS LOOKING FINE
AND I KNOW HOW I LOVE HER SO

SHE TOOK MY HAND
AND WE STARTED TO DANCE
ACROSS THE PARKING LOT
WE WEREN'T TAKING NO CHANCES
TO THE DISTANT SOUND OF THE BAND
AND WE HELD HANDS AND WALTZED
AROUND 'TILL MIDNIGHT

I HELD HER SO TIGHT
AS WE DANCED AROUND
SO TIGHT TO THE DISTANT SOUND
SO TIGHT I HELD HER CLOSE
THEN WE DANCED AND WE DANCED

IT WAS ALL NIGHT
TO THE "TENNESSEE WALTZ"
ALL NIGHT TO THE TWO STEP SONGS
ALL NIGHT WE DANCED REAL CLOSE

I GOT THE CAR I'M GONNA
TAKE HER BACK HOME
HEADLIGHTS SHINING
ON THAT OLD COUNTRY ROAD
REMEMBERING THE DANCE AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DONE AND WE DANCED
WHEN WE BOTH GOT HOME
'TILL THE BREAK OF THE DAWN
