Rhythm of the Road
(GWR 167) John Sloper
OPENER
Circle Left
I'd Rather be Home, But I make My Livin' on the Road
Left Allemande the corner, Dosado you own
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring
We Pick and Sing, Say Goodnight and we'll be Flyin"
Swing Your Girl and You'll Promenade all Right
I think about holdin' my baby tonight As I listen to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour, Gettin' in the rhythm of the road
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow,
But I can't let the tempo slow, Every town is just another beat,
Livin' in the rhythm of the road!
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Grand Square
The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own,
If you find it, it'll drive you insane
Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track I'm rattlin' like an old freight train
Towns are flashin' by, the folks are wavin' "hi"
They all start to look the same
Allemande the corner girl and weave around tonight
We pick and sing, say "goodnight" and we'll be flyin'
Swing the girl around and you'll promenade all right
I think about holdin' my baby tonight As I listen to the big wheels roll
Three days into a six week tour,
Gettin' in the rhythm of the road!
TAG
A four/four beat's the only time I keep Livin' in the rhythm of the road..
