Straight Life (Wagon Wheel 117 ) Don Franklin

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING

Four ladies chain 3/4 around now
Turn and chain the ladies straight across that old ring
Join hands and circle left around the ring you go
Dashing through meadows of yellow and gold
Girls in the men sashay, left allemande
Dosado and promenade with your man
*Drinkin' tequila down in old Mexico
Leaving the straight life behind

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)

Heads promenade 3/4 around now
Sides pass thru, circle 4 hands around
Sides break and make a line, go walking up and back
Pass thru and wheel and deal, double pass thru
First one left, the next one right and cross trail
Swing your corner, promenade your girl
*Seeker of fortune, connoisseur of great wine
Leaving the straight life behind
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Drinking tequila, going out of my mind
*Winkin' and blinking and blowing in her ear
*Going to nowhere with no worry of time
*Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine

TAG

It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of
Leaving the straight life behind
I'm just playing a game in my mind
