lyrics
Smoke streaks, summer sky, can't tell the clouds from mountains high, oh yeah
Throw down, even score, play the game and count it for the record
Right patch, wrong plant, made a rash arrangement can't you see
He said, she said, let's decide when bows are tied we'll have a laugh, or three
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Dance 'til the band resigns; In the morning you'll be fine
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Ground your heels into that pine; In the morning you'll be just fine
He showed up with Susie Blue, trouble fired where it was due, uh huh
The caller yelled a 'come around', the mando make a reckonin' sound, like this [mando lick of some sort]
She threw a fit, shout holy writ, kicked it high and stomped in double time
Quick feet, slow drawls, and yankee brawls, we got it all at this grange hall
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Dance 'til the band resigns; In the morning you'll be fine
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Ground your heels into that pine; In the morning you'll be just fine
Double down and hide'er tells, hang on to that good fortune well, alright
Knowin' to the circumstance, hit the road, I reckon she just might
Cat tails, old rails, white whales, the river's wide and strange
Tease 'em, please 'em, string along, why fish the pond if you can prearrange
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Dance 'til the band resigns; In the morning you'll be fine
Girl just dance in line; Steppin' matter over mind
Ground your heels into that pine; In the morning you'll be just fine
