Lyrics for Dancin' Days
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
