NEVER LEARNED TO DANCE song lyrics
by Steven Gregory and Joel Sattler

my little brother was a working man
I never saw him without a tool in his hand
never complained never let no one down
all across Carolina he was known to be sound

but he never had a chance
never learned to dance

our little sister was our one and all
looked up to us like we's ten feet tall
I remember the night like it was yesterday
Mama's was crying went she went away

she had to take the chance
had to learn to dance

and in a while we heard she was a star
driving around a break my window car
living a life that was so wild and free
with the boy millionaires at her knee

guess she learned to dance
guess she took the chance

me and my brother we stayed on the farm
never did nobody grief or harm
made us our families and had good wives
lived ourselves honest and simple lives

but we never learned to dance
guess we blew our chance

one day little sister was at the door
with a suitcase of cardboard and a heart so sore
she said I don't have a single thing
but there is one thing I'm offering

I can teach you how to dance
teach you how to dance

Now we go dancing nearly every night
promenade left and promenade right
call us squares we don't even care
sadnesses disappear in thin air

now we have the chance
now we learn to dance
