作曲：Flaco Jimenez+Butch Hancock

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 want to stay happy

You better lace up your best dancing 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
