Home Along The Hiway (PR 1063) Johnnie Scott

OPENER

Sides face, grand square
She was standing by the highway, I was trucking on down the road
I was moving freight to Denver, she looked so wet and cold
So I threw the binders on my rig and pulled off to the side
She hopped up in the cab with me & thanked me for the ride
4 ladies chain, turn the girl and then
Chain the ladies right back and promenade my friend
She's my South Dakota badlands, she's my Minnesota rain
She's my Louisiana bayou, my rolling Texas plains

FIGURE

Heads/sides square thru 4 hands you go, when you meet the sides
Split 'em around one to a line of 4
Go forward up & come on back, pass thru in time
Tag the line all the way thru & cloverleaf my friend
Do a double pass thru, face in and then
Star thru & swing the corner, promenade the ring
She's my California sunshine & my Colorado smile
She's my home along the highway, she's with me every mile

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face, grand square
Well, she said she lived in Denver, she was going back home again
She's been chasing around the country with some Colorado friends
We talked the night away it seemed & when we hit the Utah line
She stole my heart, stole my soul, stole my lonesome mind
4 ladies chain, turn the girl and then
Chain the ladies right back and promenade my friend
She's my South Dakota badlands, she's my Minnesota rain
She's my Louisiana bayou, my rolling Texas plains

CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
By the time we got to Denver we couldn't say goodbye
So we loaded up and headed for that city in the sky
She's been with me ever since and I recall the time
When she stole my heart, stole my soul & stole my lonesome mind
4 ladies chain, turn the girl and then
Chain the ladies right back and promenade my friend
She's my South Dakota badlands, she's my Minnesota rain
She's my Louisiana bayou, my rolling Texas plains

TAG

She's my home along the highway, she's with me every mile
