BEGIN AGAIN

Optional Ending: After the 12th pattern you will be facing the front wall again.
Repeat counts 1–8 of dance. Then do a Right kick ball change, cross Right over Left
and do a full turn unwind over the next 4 counts as the music fades out.
OR...just dance it out.
It will end on the kickball change and forward rock count 13...

Note 1: I had originally put in an 8 count tag to be done at the end of the chorus
but found it worked just as well without one... so enjoy! No tags!

Note 2: I found the original version of this song in a used music store
a couple years ago. I fell in love with this song and talked to the
artists about doing a line dance for the song and asked if they could put
it on a new album. At that time their old recording company held the
rights to it. It is now available on their new CD By Request available
at www.corbinhanner.com. They are songwriters who have their own band
and perform around Pennsylvania. Many artists have recorded their music.
A song of theirs, "She Rides Wild Horses", was recently recorded by
Kenny Rogers on his CD of the same name.
