Thrity Years Waltz Lyrics - Terry Allen

I remember standing 

All scrubbed down and clean 

Tapping my foot 

By the record machine 

An I was watching you dancing 

watchin you prancin 

watchin you glancin 

At me...so 

I took my first chance 

And I asked you to dance 

And we touched the first time with a song flying by 

And when the blue of your eyes 

Met my blues down inside 

Well I knew...that we two...could fly 

Through 

Thirty years of confuscions and change 

Thirty years of the stress and the strain 

Thirty years to be accused and to blame 

Ahhh thirty years that don't mean a thing 

When you put them beside 

Them good songs we sang 

So 

Now I'm standing 

But roughed up and mean 

Kicking my boots 

At the record machine 

Til I remember the dances 

remember the chances 

remember you glancin 

At me...so 

I just brush off my pants 

And I ask you to dance 

And we touch once again with the song flying home 

And that smile all your own 

Still beats all I've ever known 

So I laugh...and I moan 

'Cause we two have flown 

Through 

Thirty years of the storms and the rains 

Thirty years of the fears and the pains 

Thirty years of the wars and the games 

Ahhh 

Thirty years that don't mean a thing 

When you put them beside 

Them good songs we sang
