I was sitting at the bar when she caught my eye
I wasn't sure if she would dance with me but I was sure gonna try
I moved down beside her, asked if I could buy her a drink
She said that's the oldest pick-up line but I like the way that you think

Dancing' as strangers under the barroom lights
There's something' about a Jones song that makes everything alright
Ain't it funny how the world don't matter on a Friday night
You forget any anger when you're dancing' as strangers

We both knew what we wanted so it did not take us long
To move away from that barroom and to make this house a home
Children from separate lives, I loved them as they were my own
We'd teach them how to dance now and then to an old George song

Dancing' as strangers, under the barroom lights
There's something' about a Jones song that makes everything alright
Ain't it funny how the world don't matter on a Friday night
You forget any anger when you're dancing' as strangers

Every now and then we'd like to slip away
And go back to that place where we met that day
And pretend we don't know each other and I asked if I could buy her a drink
She says that's the oldest pickup line but I like the way you think

Dancing' as strangers, under the barroom lights
There's something' about a Jones song that makes everything alright
Ain't it funny how the world don't matter on a Friday night
You forget any anger when you're dancing' as strangers
