Lyrics: 202 Two-Steps
Performed by Bale Harrison & The Texas Field Hands
(Verse 1)
I see you standin’ there across the floor,
That same ol’ smile I can’t ignore,
We danced two hundred and two two-steps and 6 waltzes, babe,
We couldn’t last longer, ain’t that a shame?
Hell, that ain’t even nearly a year,
So if ya wanna go again, give it a try.
This ain’t a bad song to dance to, you know why,
We could see where those boots wanna go.
(Chorus)
We can go our own separate ways,
But I’d rather dance with you, what do ya say?
Another 20 two-steps, at minimum tonight,
But you’re the lady, so it’s up to you—wanna pout or dance?
No, it ain’t a slow one, and it don’t mean romance,
Unless, of course, you wanna be my baby again.
No it ain’t too fast, I ain’t comin’ on strong,
I’m just sayin’, come on, how’s dancing wrong?
(Verse 2)
Remember how we’d glide like boots on ice,
You’d laugh at me, and I’d spin you twice,
But two hundred and two two-steps couldn’t save our hearts,
And six slow waltzes that really smarts.
So here I am, askin’ again,
Wanna twirl around with me like we used to, “friend?”
No, I ain’t askin’ for a brand-new start,
Just one more dance before we’re worlds apart.
(Chorus)
We can go our own separate ways,
But I’d rather dance with you, what do ya say?
Another 20 two-steps, at minimum tonight,
But you’re the lady, so it’s up to you—wanna pout or dance?
No, it ain’t a slow one, and it don’t mean romance,
Unless, of course, you wanna be my baby again.
No, it ain’t too fast, I ain’t comin’ on strong,
I’m just sayin’, listen, how’s dancing wrong?
(Bridge)
Together maybe we ain’t meant to stay,
But we’re still here, and this is a honky-tonk anyway,
This song sounds country, somethin’ western,
And my boots are beggin’ I learned my lesson.
So just this once, for old times’ sake,
Wanna dance and see what memories we can shake?
(Chorus)
We can go our own separate ways,
But I’d rather dance with you, what do ya say?
Another 20 two-steps, at minimum tonight,
But you’re the lady, so it’s up to you—wanna pout, fight or dance?
No, it ain’t a slow one, and it don’t mean romance,
Unless, of course, you wanna be my baby again.
Ain’t too fast, I ain’t comin’ on strong,
I’m just sayin’, come on, pretend this is our song.
(Outro)
So here’s my hand, I’m layin’ it down,
If you don’t take it, I’ll just dance on home,
But I’d rather spin you around in my arms once more,
Before the last call and you move on.
Wanna dance?
