Day 6 - A song that makes you want to dance

Day six is a little tricky, because I only dance sober to slow songs or wedding songs that have dancing instructions in them (re: Cupid Shuffle).

I was going to go with an Eric Church song here, but I have a feeling that I need to branch out more. (Someone sang a Billie Eilish song to me after the Grammys, which made me realize that I live in a musical bubble that I don't often get out of. I didn't know the song and people had to explain who she was to me.)

So, instead of EC's Drink in My Hand, which is the perfect party song to dance to at a concert, we're going to switch it up with this one.

This is a slow song by George Strait, which was written by John Prine. You might recognize John's name because he just succumbed to the corona virus. 

Damn. It took Joe Diffie and John Prine.

Here's to the country greats. Here's also to washing your hands, not eating bats and not licking door knobs.

I Just Want to Dance With You
George Strait

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, wait too late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just wanna dance with you
I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine
So let it show, let it shine
If we have a chance to make one heart of two
I just wanna dance with you
I wanna dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancin' for
I just wanna dance with you
I wanna dance with you, hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancin' for
I just wanna dance with you
I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you
Yes I did, ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just wanna dance with you
Oh the boys are playin' softly and the girls are too
So am I and so are you
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue
I just wanna dance with you
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancin' for
I just wanna dance with you
I wanna dance with you, hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancin' for,
I just wanna dance with you
I wanna dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they invented dancin' for
I just wannna dance with you
I wanna dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancin' for
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
