Dancin' Days Songtext
von Guy Clark

Some of her dancin′ days are over
Some of her dancin' days are done
But she′s still got a couple of two steps
She ain't shown no one

Time will tell if she needs you
Time will tell if she don't
What′ll you do if she believes you?
What′ll you do if she won't?

You can′t fence her in with wire
You can't fence her in with words
Bet your life she′s on fire
She's got a pistol in her purse


Don′t sell her short if she leaves you
Don't sell her short if she stays
She's got cards up her sleeve still
That she never got to play

It ain′t like she′s tryin' to lose you
She′s just thinkin' for herself
She said, "Come on, if it moves you
Don′t just stay here by yourself"

You can't fence her in with wire
You can′t fence her in with words
Bet your life she's on fire
She's got a pistol in her purse

You can′t fence her in with wire
You can′t fence her in with words
Bet your life she's on fire
She′s got a pistol in her purse

Some of her dancin' days are over
Some of her dancin′ days are done
