"Take a little walk in the country"

  Igår gick jag i mina mardrömmars allé. Två år har gått sedan den svåra tiden. Nu är jag stark. Nu är jag mig själv igen. 
  I kväll tar vi stegen tillsammans i fredagsdansen. Line dance står på programmet. OBS! Missa inte seniorernas träningsvideo.

  Line dance är en dans med amerikanskt ursprung, som från början av 1970-talet, när dansformen fick ett rejält uppsving, dansades till countrymusik, men numera förekommer de flesta musikstilar och det produceras många danser till radions topplistor. Det är ingen pardans, även om det förekommer koreografier där man interagerar med varandra, och inte heller samma sak som squaredans. De dansande står i rader - därav namnet. Danserna är uppbyggda av olika stegkombinationer som beskrivs i stegbeskrivningar. Det finns idag (2012) runt 60 000 olika danser. Källa: Wikipedia

Walkin' the country, performed by The Ranch
(Text & Musik: Vernon Wayne Rust, Keith Urban. EMI Music, 1997.)

Runnin' from the rate race
Just as fast as I can
Take off my tie so I can breathe
Me, I'm going where the fresh air's blowin'
Take a little walk in the country with me

Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good
To get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me

I'm so sick of all them TV shows
I need some dirt road under my feet
c'mon let's point our toes where the red fern grows
Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now

Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good
To get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me

Walkin' the country
Oh bless my soul
Just gimme that country road
Come on now

Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now baby

Take a little walk in the country with me

I feel lucky, performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter
(Text & Musik: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Don Schlitz. Columbia Records, 1992.)

Well, I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack.
I opened up the paper to the page in the back.
It only took a minute for my finger to find
my daily dose of destiny under my sigh.
My eyes just about popped out-a my head.
It said,"The starts are stacked against you, girl. Get back in bed."

I feel lucky,
I feel lucky, Yeah.
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way.
Mm, I feel lucky today.

Well, I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk.
The pot's eleven million, so I called in sick to work.
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
crossed against the light made a beeline for the park.
The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan.
I heard a voice above me sayin', "Girl, you'd better get back home."

I feel lucky,
I feel lucky, yeah.
No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away.
Mm, I feel lucky today.

Now Eleven million later, I was sittin' at the bar.
I bought the house a double, then the waitress a new car.
Dwight Yoakim's in the corner, try'n' to catch my eye.
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh.
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true:
Hey, the stars might lie, but the numbers never do.

I feel lucky,
I feel lucky, yeah.
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight.
Hot dog, I feel lucky tonight.

I feel lucky,
I feel lucky.
Think I'll flip a coin I'm a winner either way.
Mmmmm I feel lucky today
