SHE'S OUT THERE DANCIN' ALONE
(Geoff Morgan)

Billie Jo Spears - 1977
Barbara Mandrell - 1979



The lights are turned low, she stands all alone on the floor
She's had too much beer and her mind's not too clear anymore
She throws back her hair, she's sure someone said "I'll take you home"
But when the band starts in playin', she's out there dancin' alone

She comes in on weekends and sits in a booth by the band
She's got a favourite she wonders will they play once again
Some whisper she's crazy, but tonight she's sure that he'll come
But when the band starts in playin', she's out there dancin' alone

She smiles and holds out her arms
Like there's somebody there
She closes her eyes when they laugh
And when people stare, she doesn't care

Now the band's packin' up and the bartender's sweepin' the floor
He says "It's past two and soon I'll be lockin' the door"
Ah, but she keeps on smilin', waitin' in a world all her own
They all watch for a moment while she's out there dancin' alone

They all watch for a moment while I'm out there dancin' alone
