Dance the Night Away Songtext
von Shane Smith & The Saints

See the moonlight shining through the pines
And I know I am steady on my way
Got no reason for the radio
I′d rather feel the wind and hear the bull frogs sing
Got a buddy out towards Monroe
Said he caught some hogs he'll trade for moonshine today
There′s a party up ahead, an angel to my right
I took my hand and brushed her cheek, when I caught her eye, I told her

You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl, we will dance this night
We will dance the night away


Cross the river, hit the LA line
She didn't see it 'cause she reads all the way
Band was playing by the time we arrived
She couldn′t help but smile when she heard that fiddle play
She′d start to move, underneath that moon light, you know she felt alive
That's when I knew, that brown-eyed girl was mine
The way she held me tight and told me

You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl, we will dance this night
We will dance the night away

Party died but left our souls alive
So we walked down to the dock beneath the stars
The sun was sinking, but my heart would rise
As I felt my shaking knee hit that wooden deck floor
I asked her lifetime no less, and no more
She said, "My lifetime I′m yours forevermore," took her hand to tell her

You and I will dance this night away
We will dance this night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl, we will dance this night
We will dance this life


'Cause you and I will dance this night away
We will dance the night away
As the Cajuns on that back porch play Zydeco
Girl, we will dance this life
We will dance this life away

We will dance the night away
We will dance this night away
