Me and Mary Lou
wore out many a shoe
On this old hardwood dance floor
Could have bought this honky
-tonk ten times
Payin' cover at that old door
No tellin' how many beers
me and Lou had in here
A truck load or two, I suppose
Made me feel so proud
when we waltzed in the crowd
We stayed till the lights were on
Lou's favorite dance was the two -step
Her favorite tune was the
maiden's prayer
That old fiddle made her move,
she'd whisper
I love you, I'd forget that I ever had a care
Every song was a dance,
every drink was a laugh,
every night in this old bar room
Well that music still hears
the dance floor and the beer,
but Mary Lou you took the party with you
Now, I don't dance anymore
I don't smile anymore
Just wear the jukebox
and drink them down
But I don't swing with the crowd
I just sit here on the stove
Cause Mary Lou,
you took the party with you
Now I don't dance anymore,
I don't smile anymore
Just play the jukebox and drink em down
But I don't swing with the crowd,
I just sit here on this stool
Cause Mary Lou, you took the party with you
