From the recording Dance All Night, Sleep All Day
In 2004 I drove from Houston to Beaumont almost every weekend to dance at the Dixie Dancehall owned by Tracy Byrd in Beaumont's warehouse district.. a mini 6th Street that includes an Antone's blues club a la Austin.
I've been a dance instructor since 1983 & dancers from my days of competing in dance would be there from Lake Charles & the surrounding areas. The Dixie is a sea of cowboy hats & pickup trucks.. a throwback to the Urban Cowboy dance clubs in Houston.
Features band mate & best friend, Dennis Challman on steel guitar.
Lyrics
Dance All Night, Sleep All Day
Sittin’ ‘hind this desk in Port Arthur, Texas
One thing on my mind
The boss man thinks I’m working
But I’m on the phone flirting
With that 2-steppin’ baby of mine
Down at the Dixie Dancehall we gonna tie one on
Me and Margo Fontenot from Beaumont’s hot to go
And party till the cows come home
Dance all night, sleep all day
Me and Margo wouldn't have it any other way
Dance all night, sleep all day
Come Monday morning, gonna have the devil to pay
Dancin’ ain’t nothing
But an excuse for me to do my thing
Give me one last breath I'd dance to death
Ev'ry two-step 'n swing
Margo knows how to move me, she's gotta move or two
Throw back 2 shots of Tequila & I’ll start to feel her
Rubbin ‘gainst me with her doo wah diddy do
