Boombox

Hey, there's a woman next door out on a porch

With a boombox blastin' at full force

And she dances real slow in her woolly socks

And slides on her wooden floor through the dust, cryin'

"When I'm dancin', this is how I dance

Let the music move me this way and that

You have a dance, I can appreciate that

But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance"

Now, there's a bar downtown where they play the blues

On a tiny stage in a corner booth

Where I can close my eyes and feel the groove

And you can dance even if you don't move, ahhh

When I'm dancin', this is how I dance

Let the music move me this way and that

You have a dance, I can appreciate that

But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance

Oh, now, I've got a friend who can't play a single note

But the music gets down right into his soul

He can hear it play no matter where he goes

Yeah, you'd hear it too if you'd just listen now, ahhh

When I'm dancin', this is how I dance

Let the music move me this way and that

You have a dance, I can appreciate that

But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance

Oh, when I'm alone, now, and that's alright

I've done what I've done and it feels just fine

I can dance these memories all in my mind

And I can take a turn in my own time, and I say

When I'm dancin', this is how I dance

Let the music move me this way and that

You have a dance, I can appreciate that

But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance, yeah

When I'm dancin', this is how I dance

Let the music move me this way and that

Well, you have a dance, I can appreciate that

But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance
