This week’s Featured Lyrics are to the late Greg Trooper’s “We Won’t Dance”, a song that has been covered by several artists including Vince Gill. We post lyrics of hit songs so that our songwriters can study them to see how winning songs are constructed. Of course a lot depends on the melody, the rhythm and the artist as to whether or not the song will sell… and whether or not it is in the right place at the right time!

Lyrics to “We Won’t Dance”
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band won’t play
We won’t dance
I kid you not we were hot
When the weekend came we’d dance non-stop
No jitterbug no substitute
No twist and turn no crash and burn
Could top us two
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band won’t play
We won’t dance
As I dipped you down in your yellow dress
We’d brush the floor in a slow caress
As minutes turned to a rising sun
We’d leave the day to rest
Our dancing done
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band won’t play
We won’t dance
If I were God and controlled what is
I’d steal your shoes so you couldn’t dance with his
Well I’m not all that I could be
But you’ll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won’t dance no more
We won’t dance no more
Well I’m not all that I could be
But you’ll never dance with him
The way you danced with me
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band won’t play
We won’t dance
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band won’t play
We won’t dance
Songwriter Greg Trooper
