Someone Else's Dance

I met her out in Colorado

She didn't know which road to follow

She thumbed on down to Santa Fe

Before the snowflakes blew

Back home they didn't understand

So she had to change her plans

The midnight rain, the baby came

The father never knew

And you know I didn't plan to stay

But the roads were old and they washed away

And in between the life we dream

And those dark and dusty days

We drive to work and make our plans

As time tip toes away

The music plays from far away

A song of circumstance

We step in time or fall behind

In someone else's dance

Staring at the starry sky

Hand in hand the boy and I

We watch 'm fall

The Momma calls

It's time to come inside

And he'll never know how close he came

To a different life with a another name

And in between the life we dream

And those dark and dusty days

We drive to work and make our plans

As time tip toes away

The music plays from far away

A song of circumstance

We step in time or fall behind

In someone else's dance
