Guy Clark - Dancin' Days Lyrics






Some of her dancin' days are over
Some of her dancin' days are done
But she's still got a couple of two steps
She ain't shown no one

Time will tell if she needs you
Time will tell if she don't
What'll you do if she believes you
What'll you do if she won't

You can't fence her in with wire
You can't fence her in with words
Bet your life she's on fire
She's got a pistol in her purse

Don't sell her short if she leaves you
Don't sell her short if she stays
She's got cards up her sleeve still
That she never got to play

It ain't like she she's tryin' to lose you
She's just thinkin' for herself
She said come on if it moves you
Don't just stay here by yourself

You can't fence her in with wire
You can't fence her in with words
Bet your life she's on fire
She's got a pistol in her purse

You can't fence her in with wire
You can't fence her in with words
Bet your life she's on fire
She's got a pistol in her purse

Some of her dancin' days are over
Some of her dancin' days are done

    Clark on fire! From an amatuer musician's standpoint I get it. It all works.

    guy and verlon: were there ever two better human beings who made music? Missing guy every time I put one of his records (yes vinyl) on the turntable.

    It was a thrill to be able to film him.
