(Thank you)
(This is uh, this is a song that, uh, when he asked)
(Before uh, things kinda got a little of hand here, uh)
(He asked what my favorite song was of the stuff we do)
(And uh, this is hands down my very, very favorite song)
(Uh, I wonder if it will be for all of my life)
(As it is, I mean if it is, I think I'm 'onna be okay with it)
(It's called the dance)

Looking back
On the memory of
The dance we shared
'Neath the stars above
And for a moment
All the world was right
But how could I have known
That you'd ever say goodbye

And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives
Are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss
The dance

Holding you
I held everything
For a moment
Wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known
How the king would fall
Hey, who's to say
You know I might have changed it all

And now
I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives
Are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss
The dance

Yes, my life
It's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss
The dance

(To everybody that's here tonight)
(Either on the radio or right here in person tonight)
(Um, I don't know if you've ever experienced this)
(But going somewhere far, far away from your home)
(And still feeling at home is quite a thing to experience)
(Thank you very much for it)
(God bless you guys, have a good night)

(If we can, uh, and you guys don't mind)
(Let's uh, let's have a big, uh, hand for the band)
(Let's get them back up here)

(I tell you what, we can, uh)
(We'd be happy to, uh, like do some request and stuff)
(If we can't play, we'll just tell you, no)
(Uh, I mean that's, I mean that's all we can do But)
(If anybody has anything things, you said, uh, The River)
(We'd be happy to try The River)
(And uh, some things also, that, that take a lot of fiddle)
(You gotta know that, uh, Jimmy, uh, hasn't played with us that long)
(So, um, We're kinda carrying him right now)
(But uh, but he, uh, he'll find his way)
(So we're, we're gonna try this, this is uh)
(She asked for The River down here, so we're gonna go ahead and try that)
(My pleasure)
