Stand On The Blue Line

[Intro – twangy guitar riff, shuffling snare] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – bouncy upright bass, steady honky tonk piano] Find your number on the floor Plant your boots and lock the door Hands tucked tight right by your sides Eyes straight ahead, no silly rides [Pre-Chorus – building guitar strums, clapping rhythm] We’re gonna march down this old hall Keep your steps light, don’t trip or fall Listen close to every line We’re gonna dance on the blue line [Chorus – full band, foot-stomping beat, call-and-response energy] Stand on the blue line, don’t you stray Hands to yourself, let’s sway Face forward now, let’s make it right This honky tonk line dance is gonna light up the night Stand on the blue line, feet firm on the ground No looking back, no messing around We’ll step and spin, we’ll laugh and shine All together now, stand on the blue line [Verse 2 – playful piano trills, guitar licks] Now march forward three slow steps Tap your heel, don’t catch your breaths Slide to the left, then slide right back Keep your eyes on the track [Pre-Chorus – clapping gets louder, guitar builds] We’re gonna turn this hall around Spin in place without a sound Find your spot when the music chimes Back to the blue line, one more time [Chorus – layered vocals, energetic fiddle solo weave-in] Stand on the blue line, don’t you stray Hands to yourself, let’s sway Face forward now, let’s make it right This honky tonk line dance is gonna light up the night Stand on the blue line, feet firm on the ground No looking back, no messing around We’ll step and spin, we’ll laugh and shine All together now, stand on the blue line [Bridge – stripped back, just upright bass and vocals] Now partner up with the one next door Dip your hat, then hit the floor Two steps forward, one step back Keep that rhythm on track [Solo – fiery fiddle, twangy guitar trade-off] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, maximum energy, crowd sing-along vibe] Stand on the blue line, don’t you stray Hands to yourself, let’s sway Face forward now, let’s make it right This honky tonk line dance is gonna light up the night Stand on the blue line, feet firm on the ground No looking back, no messing around We’ll step and spin, we’ll laugh and shine All together now, stand on the blue line [Outro – fading guitar, final foot stomp] One last time on the blue line We danced all night, and we felt just fine
