Someone Else’s Dance
I met her out in Colorado
She didn't know which road to follow
She thumbed on down to Santa Fe
Before the snowflakes blew
Back home they didn't understand
So she had to change her plans
The midnight rain, the baby came
The father never knew
And you know I didn't plan to stay
But the roads were old and they washed away
And in between the life we dream
And those dark and dusty days
We drive to work and make our plans
As time tip toes away
The music plays from far away
A song of circumstance
We step in time or fall behind
In someone else's dance
Staring at the starry sky
Hand in hand the boy and I
We watch 'm fall
The Momma calls
It's time to come inside
And he'll never know how close he came
To a different life with a another name
And in between the life we dream
And those dark and dusty days
We drive to work and make our plans
As time tip toes away
The music plays from far away
A song of circumstance
We step in time or fall behind
In someone else's dance
