lyrics

There’s a woman next door out on her porch
With a boombox blasting at full force
And she dances real slow in her woolly socks
And slides on the wooden floor through the dust

Chorus
(Says / singing) When I’m dancing
This is how I dance
I let the music move me
This way and that
If you have a dance
I can appreciate that
But when I’m dancing
This is how I dance

There’s a bar downtown where they play the blues
On a tiny stage in a corner booth
Where I can close my eyes and feel the groove
And you can dance even if you don’t move

Chorus

I got a friend who can’t play a single note
But the music gets right down into their soul
They hear it play no matter where they go
You’d hear it too if you’d just listen now

Chorus

I’m alone now and that’s alright
I’ve done what I’ve done and it feels just fine
I can dance these memories all in my mind
And I can take a turn in my own time

Chorus

about

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
