Slow Country Dance

Out on the floor the couples are swaying
 To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight
 You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing
 A slow country dance on a Saturday night
 Sweethearts in love and others just lonely
 Searching for someone to waltz with tonight
 In a smoky old bar you know that it's only
 A slow country dance on a Saturday night
 And love's never easy or ever as true
 When the changing of partners is no longer new
 You lead with your heart and closing your eyes
 Dance just to dance in three-quarter time

 Down at the bar a woman tells stories
 Batting her eyes to someone not there
 Her glass is half full or maybe half empty
 Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear
 And now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless
 And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age
 But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish
 A much lighter step and a much younger face
 And love's never easy or ever as true
 When the changing of partners is no longer new
 You lead with your heart and closing your eyes
 Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
