Song Description

Story of a town in Oklahoma that outlawed dancing until just a few years ago.

Lyrics

The bride and the groom take the floor to a tune as the fiddle rings the heartstrings of the lovers

They step and they twirl and her wedding dress swirls as she waves to her sisters and her brothers.

And one by one the guests all join in til the room seems to sway in time.
She never thought once, she never thought twice there'd be a wedding she's stand on the sidelines

Chorus - But he doesn't dance anymore
She can't get him out on the floor
Her request she denies or ignores
He doesn't dance anymoe

she chooses a dress and a few accessories hoping to turn his head
She fixes her hair and then with extra care she applies her favorite shade of red
But he doesn't notice and hten when the notes of the fiddle ring out their tune
She hearches his face just to find a trace of a young man on a Saturday in June

Chrous

Bridge - Is it just time that takes away, the desire to run ad play and dance, dance like youdid on your wedding day.

Cause he doesn't dance anymore - He doesn't dance anymore
