From the recording Country Homecoming
Lyrics
Friday night, little bar downtown
Boots on the floor, old jukebox sound
I came alone my heart taped up
Tryin' forget the girl who tore it up
Then across the room you sweep in through the door
Vibrant smile like I never seen before
Brown eyes shining now may be my chance
Cause every little look says ask me to dance
You tuck your hair behind your ear
Look my way like you want me here
Giving me hints across the floor
Little smile saying come over
Boots tapping to the band’s slow song
I've been waiting all night long
Girl I see every sign you’re throwing my way
But my heart’s still broke from yesterday
Seeing you put me in some kind of neon trance
And I’m one brave step from asking you to dance
You spin with your friends, laugh out loud
Prettiest thing in this whole damn crowd
Then you walk by slow but I'm too shy
Drop a little “hey there” and a wink your eye
My hands on this whiskey start to shake
Love’s another gamble that I’m scared to take
But something about the way you glance
Is making me want to ask you to dance
You step a little closer now
Band turns up that country sound
Giving me hints across the floor
Little smile saying come over
Boots tapping to the band’s slow song
I've been waiting all night long
Girl I see every sign you’re throwing my way
But my heart’s still broke from yesterday
Seeing you put me in some kind of neon trance
And I’m one brave step from asking you to dance
Maybe love ain’t always a losing hand
Maybe healing starts with taking a stand
You look at me one more time like you know my chance
And I finally move to ask you to dance
Giving me hints across the floor
Little smile pulling me closer
Boots moving slow to the band’s last song
And now we’re swaying all night long
Yeah the hurt and the past can wait outside
When you take my hand tonight
Girl thank God I took that chance
When I finally walked up and asked you to dance
Neon fading, band packing up their stands
But I’m still holding on to your hands
