I was born by the railroad tracks
Well the train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
Well papa left mama when I was quite young
He said now "One of these days you're gonna follow me son"
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't ever satisfied
Now I had me a woman she was my world
But I ran off with my back street girl
Now my back street woman could not be true
She left me standin' on the boulevard thinkin' bout you
I got an empty feeling deep inside
I'm going over to the other side
Last night I dreamed I made it to the promise land
I was standin' at the gate and I had the key in my hand
Saint Peter said "Come on in boy, you're finally home"
I said "No thanks Pete, I'll just be moving along"We were just friends
whenever we met
we simply smiled hello
We had a short walk
exchanging small talk
Little did we know
That magical night
we met at a club
I asked if you wanted to dance
I held you near
had no idea
we were heading for romance
One dance with you
made me realize
You were my lady
you were my baby
as I looked in your eyes
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
Time has passed by
things havn't changed
I know they never will
We'll stay together
loving forever
Time had just stood still
Whenever we dance
it happens again
Just like it did before
'cause I hold you to me
memories run through me
as we go round the floor
One dance with you
made me realize
You were my lady
you were my baby
as I looked in your eyes
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
Love came and hit me
right out of the blue
I can't forget that one dance with you
One dance...
