BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Watching Amy Dance

(Buddy Miller and R. Lily)



As you journey down the road my friend

You'll see sights you don't want to see

I saw one about a year ago

When my wife walked out on me

I didn't care so much about the junk she took

It wasn't worth a second glance

Right now I'd give anything

If I could see my little girl dance



See I've always been a traveling man

I still do get around

And it's true I knew a girl or two

When I was out of town

But they all add up to nothing

In this world of cheap romance

And I'd trade them all for one short hour

Watching Amy dance



She'd run round and round in circles and

Clap her little hands

It's a memory that keeps haunting me

Wish I could see my Amy dance

Wish I could my little girl dance



Mom and Dad are gone rest their souls

My brother is far away

And the way I thought it would all turn out

Ain't where I am today

Lord I know I don't deserve no favors

But please grant me one more chance

Just to spend an hour or two watching Amy dance
