Lyrics

When We’re Dancin’
Words and Music by Diana Di Gioia

I’m cutting the cord to my responsibilities
Settin’ us free from the laws of gravity
Our feet are gonna take us back to seventeen,
When my heart was hungry and my soul was clean
my heart was hungry and my soul was clean

When we’re dancin’, inside the groove
When we’re dancin’
There’s liberation in every move
Baby are you ready to remember who we used to be?
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me

The night is young, but the rhythm is as old as time
I needed you like Buddy Holly needed a rhyme
Rock ‘n’ Roll hit me like a fatal disease
It started in my belly, dropped me to my knees
Now it’ll bend me, shake me, any old way it pleases

When we’re dancin’, inside the groove
When we’re dancin’
There’s liberation in every move
Baby are you ready to remember who we used to be?
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me

Shouldering the cares of the world is making me weary
And trusting the arc of justice has got me leery
When I just can’t run any faster
Need a fender bass and a stratocaster
Some Memphis Blues gonna help me ward off disaster

When we’re dancin’, inside the groove
When we’re dancin’
There’s liberation in every move
Baby are you ready to remember who we used to be?
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me
All you gotta do is come dancin’ with me
