(Verse 1)

You can’t throw dirt on Dallas,

You can’t kick a dog to the sea,

But if you want a bit of sunshine,

Get on this floor and dance with me.

My boots are made of spit and polish,

My blue jeans are tight as they can be,

I feel like I must keep movin’,

So get on this floor and dance with me.

(Chorus)

The band’s playin’ loud and steady,

The neon’s glowin’ wild and free,

I’ve been waitin’ all week, darlin’,

For a night like this in Big D.

So don’t you worry ‘bout tomorrow,

Let that heartbreak set you free,

‘Cause tonight we’re burnin’ boot leather,

Come on, dance with me in Dallas, please.

(Verse 2)

I’ve been down them red dirt backroads,

Chasin’ dreams and memories,

But when that fiddle starts a-whinin’,

It brings out the fire in me.

Your eyes shine like Texas moonlight,

Your smile’s pure sweet harmony,

So take my hand, girl, don’t you doubt it,

Come dance with me in Dallas, please.

(Chorus)

The band’s playin’ loud and steady,

The neon’s glowin’ wild and free,

I’ve been waitin’ all week, darlin’,

For a night like this in Big D.

So don’t you worry ‘bout tomorrow,

Let that heartbreak set you free,

‘Cause tonight we’re burnin’ boot leather,

Come on, dance with me in Dallas, please.

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s a Texas twister,

Spinnin’ hearts like tumbleweeds,

But I’ll take my chance beside you,

Under lights of old Elm Street.

(Final Chorus)

The band’s still playin’ loud and steady,

The Lone Star’s shinin’ down on me,

I’ve been waitin’ all week, darlin’,

For this bit of Texas destiny.

So kick that dust up ‘round our shadows,

And let the whole bar see,

That tonight we’re fallin’ in rhythm,

Come dance with me in Dallas, please.

(Tag)

Yeah, tonight we’re fallin’ in rhythm,

Darlin’, dance with me in Dallas, please.
