ENDING
The dance ends with the music on the step 1/2 pivot (counts 31-32, facing the 3:00 wall).
Slowly turn 1/4 left on ball of left foot and lunge side right (now facing 12:00 wall - the front).
Shrug shoulders slowly. Present arms (palms up, at body center) and separate out away from body
as you say (with the song), "but Darlin', I was only havin' a good time."

The song "The Right To Remain Silent" has a 4 count tag.
The dance is not phrased for the tag, but it works.
