As you journey down the road my friend You'll see sights you don't want to see I saw one about a year ago When my wife walked out on me I didn't care so much about the junk she took It wasn't worth a second glance Right now I'd give anything If I could see my little girl dance See I've always been a traveling man I still do get around And it's true I knew a girl or two When I was out of town But they all add up to nothing In this world of cheap romance And I'd trade them all for one short hour She'd run round and round in circles and Clap her little hands It's a memory that keeps haunting me Wish I could see my Amy dance Wish I could my little girl dance My Mom and Dad are gone rest their souls My brother is far away And the way I thought it would all turn out And where I am today Lord I know I don't deserve no favors Please grant me one more chance Just to spend an hour or two watching Amy dance She'd run round and round in circles and Clap her little hands It's a memory that keeps haunting me Wish I could see my Amy dance Wish I could my little girl dance It all adds up to nothing In this world of cheap romance And I'd trade them all for one short hour
