The Dance Goes On Lyrics

Well I"ve worked all over this dirty town
Seen all kinds of places
Worn my shoes out on a road nowhere
A hired hand in search of wages
I"ve dreamed and schemed and planned and sweated
Wound up with a heart full of nothing
And sometimes, I swear these days never gonna end
But the dance goes on
And the rain comes down
And the music plays
While the world goes around

I"ve driven my engine down a lonely road
Wondering where in hell I was travelling
Burned my bridges in the dust and rain
Hope was my only companion
I"ve hammered these rocks and dragged these chains
Found out how a spirit gets broken
And still never found the place I"ve been searching for
But the dance goes on
And the rain comes down
And the music plays
While the world goes around

yeah the dance goes on
And the rain comes down
And the music plays
While the world goes around

You gotta catch the rhythm
Keep on moving - grab what"s goin"
Get up and running
"cause the dance goes on
Dance on babe it"s alright
Dance away into the night
Dance away

Well I found me a lover down in Suzie"s place
She was pretty as a Japanese princess
Left me chained up to a broken heart
Must have burned every one of my fingers
Well I woke up lonely in a town somewhere
With nothing but the clothes I was wearing
And I screamed out loud oh lord tell me what I"ve done
