[Intro]
[Verse]
He showed up for work
And he Brought home his pay cheque
He dressed up for church
And sang rock of ages
Built her a house
And bought her a piano
One summer he took her
Way out to Montana
[Chorus]
But he never took her dancing
No he never took her dancing
[Verse]
He kept the cars running
And the lawn mower mowing
The bread on the table
While the children were growing
and planted her roses
and mended the fences
went back to her family
reunions in Texas
[Chorus]
But he never took her dancing
No he never took her dancing
[Bridge]
Oh he worked and he worried
He hustled and hurried
But he never saw time aâ running out
Those years they kept passing
One day she quit asking
The only regret he has now
[Chorus]
Is he never took her dancing
No he never took her dancing
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
He drove her to town
While her hair was fraying
when the lord came to take her
he was by her side praying
later that winter
he went looking for some pictures
found an old box
of new ballroom slippers
[Interlude]
(Instrumental Bar)
No he never took her dancing
(Instrumental Bar)
[Bridge]
Oh he worked and he worried
He hustled and hurried
But he never saw time aâ running out
Those years they kept passing
One day she quit asking
The only regret he has now
[Chorus]
Is he never took her dancing
No he never took her dancing
