Cornmeal Waltz

[Verse 1] There's nothing like cornmeal On a dance-hall floor For dancing the night away Slipping and sliding Effortlessly gliding In the arms of my sweet Lillie Mae So I shined up my boots And ironed my shirt And pulled on some new blue jeans Oh, I brushed off my hat Slicked back my hair; I'll beat all that she's ever seen [Chorus] There's nothing like listening To the fiddles play While doing the cornmeal waltz There's nothing to keep you From drifting away Doing the cornmeal waltz [Verse 2] Way out on Ranch Road 17 There's a dance hall In the live-oak trees Yellow lights strung up all around So all the little kids can see Pick-ups are parked near to the road; The beer is so cold it might freeze Stars are all out, the band's in tune And it smells like a barbecue breeze [Chorus] [Verse 3] Beat-up old Stetsons, beehive hair Belt buckles bumping in time There's little girls Dancing on their daddies toes Spinning around on a dime Grandma and Grandpa are out on the floor Dancing like they've lost their minds There's old maids and bachelors And sweethearts alike All moving in three-quarter time [Chorus]
