Buck Dancing

This song originated from an impromptu vacation I took in 1987, to Kamloops and Jasper, looking for wolves. Heard some, saw none. But had a pretty wild time in Kamloops- at least that’s what they told me.

Everyone is lonely
Even if only
When they’re alone

My love runs from shadows
Not that it matters
After she’s gone

Chorus:
She’s the queen of the buck dancers
And she can really move
I’m searching for the right steps
But I don’t have a clue

I’m so tired of thinking
That’s why I’m drinking
More than I should

In my dreams she’s happy
To slow dance with me
It feels so good

Chorus:
She’s the queen of the buck dancers
And she can really move
I’m searching for the right steps
But I don’t have a clue

Bridge:
This ain’t the same old shuffle
Where you glide to and fro
If you want to be a buck dancer
You’ve got to bend your legs and go

I can’t keep up with her
God I sure miss her
How she can dance

Chorus:
She’s the queen of the buck dancers
And she can really move
I’m searching for the right steps
But I don’t have a clue

Bridge Reprise:
This ain’t the same old shuffle
Where you glide to and fro
If you want to be a buck dancer
You’ve got to bend your legs and go

It’s an end of the line dance
There’s too much heel and toe
It’s time to change partners
It’s the end of the road
She’s the queen of the buck dancers
And she can really move
I’m searching for the right steps
But I don’t have a clue
