Dancin' Fools

He was as dark and as loose
As his brand new jeans
With boots shining black as crow's eyes
Her hair was curled
And smelled as fresh as a summer rain
Without a word, he took her hand
And first prize

She's so light on her foot
As light as the air
As he twirls her around the floor
Then they smile, and they laugh
As the crowd gives way
Just like forty years before

Dancin' fools, that's what the people say
Dancin' fools, best of friends at play
Every inch of the floor
Every step just like the first
With the passing of time
They've become so well rehearsed
They have a secret
You can see it in their eyes
For the fire has never cooled
So I clap my hands, for all they know
Those two dancin' fools

Now they've waltzed into another time
While dancin' their worries are gone
Sweethearts they've become
All over again
For at least the length of a song

Though the years wore hard
On these dancin' fools
She endures til the end his faults
Cause he holds her as soft
As the moon gives light
When they dance to the Tennessee Waltz

Dancin' fools, that's what the people say
Dancin' fools, best of friends of play
Every inch of the floor
Every step just like the first
With the passing of time
They've become so well rehearsed
They have a secret, you can see it in their eyes
For the fire has never cooled
So I clap my hands for all they know
Those two dancin' fools
