when she dances

charley pride

when she's walkin' down the street she might not ever caught your eye

she don't talk much maybe she's simple and maybe she's just shy

but when the lights go down and the band begins to play

her soul drinks up the sound and her body starts to sway

when she dances she's like a wind in a long tall grass

when she dances she's got so much soul

she can make you forget ev'rything she's thinkin' of

she can make you fall in love when she dances

when she dances ohhh when she dances

she's the one who lives up the road her daddy's workin' on the line

she's here most every night to hear the music and pass the time

and all night long she never stops and time goes by like she's in a dream

and all the guys they just sit and watch

cause she's the finest thing that they've ever seen

right now she's as gone and she's as free

as anything in this world could ever be

yeah when she dances she's like a wind in a long tall grass

when she dances she's got so much soul

she can make you forget ev'rything she's thinkin' of

she can make you fall in love when she dances

when she dances ohhh when she dances
