She's Like Wow

The party barn was in full swing
The fiddler bouncing with every bow string
The base player setting the rhythm loud
Bales of hay supporting the crowd
As I scanned the room with care
She swung her curly blonde hair
Stopping me still like glue on the ground
She danced like no-one was around
Her summer dress flowed with every swing
Through her draped hair I seen a cheeky grin
Arms in the air like first place winner
Her boots kicking up dust through sunbeam glitter
Plucking the courage up to find this beauties story
Ends up on the other end of glory
My feet just would not move
Frozen with nervous moods
Looking directly in her direction I noticed him
A tall cowboy, black boots, shirt and hat with white trim
He confidently took her by the hand
And led her infront of the band
Swirling her around and picking her up
Well that's it for me, no chance I give up
Who was this beauty that graced my day?
Was he her man or just a dance floor date?
Well I guess I'll never know
Police arrived and broke up the show
Body's running in all directions
I lost site of her glowing reflections
I still think of her and wonder in vain
Will she ever grace me with her presence again?
