Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song while I was in the Texas Hill Country performing at the Kerrville Folk festival. They say there's songs in those hills. I believe there are.

Song Description

The elements and a melody cause a man to think back to a first love

Lyrics

Maybe it's the southwest wind
Maybe it's that yellow moon
Carrying her heaven scent
From down in Texas and right on through
Across what seem a million miles
Beyond the chains of time
When I was hers
And she was mine

I swear there's a song in that sweet breeze
And I go dancin' with her memory

Chorus:
Well tonight there is a lone star
Flirting with the clouds
Pulling hard at my heart
Like a sad old Texas Waltz
And it's one step up and 2 steps back to me
Just dancin' with her memory

Funny how it all comes back
Suddenly we're seventeen
Taking my dad's Pontiac
And scraping change for gasoline
Swaying to the radio
In the dash board lights
The moon above
Stars in our eyes

Sometimes all it takes is a melody
And I go dancin' with her memory

Chorus:
Well tonight there is a lone star
Flirting with the clouds
Pulling hard at my heart
Like a sad old Texas Waltz
And it's one step up and 2 steps back to me
Just dancin' with her memory

Bridge:
Sometimes I stop and wonder
If she's still in that town
And does she find me in her memory
When no one else's around

Chorus:
Well tonight there is a lone star
Flirting with the clouds
Pulling hard at my heart
Like a sad old Texas Waltz
And it's one step up and 2 steps back to me
Just dancin' with her memory

Outro:
Grab your partner tip your hat
One step up and 2 steps back
Dancin' with her memory
Grab your partner tip your hat
One step up and 2 steps back
Dancin' with her memory
