[Verse 1]
Wooden planks creak under heavy leather boots
Dust floats through the golden spotlight beam
Nobody speaks before the bass kicks in
We watch the guitar player's shadow move
[Chorus]
Two steps backward, shift weight to the left heel
Spin around toward the neon beer sign
Hold your breath, the fiddle takes a turn
Measuring the distance between Saturday and Monday
[Verse 2]
Engine grease stays under my scrubbed fingernails
The harvest moon looks like a copper coin
You catch my eye across the floorboards
We claim this small square of space
[Chorus]
Two steps backward, shift weight to the left heel
Spin around toward the neon beer sign
Hold your breath, the fiddle takes a turn
Measuring the distance between Saturday and Monday
[Bridge]
The drummer hits the rim three times
Everyone moves like a wave of denim
No one cares about tomorrow's rain
Air smells like cedar and cheap whiskey
[Outro]
Music stops, boots keep scraping pine
One final stomp echoes into the rafters
Sweat cools on my neck
House lights come up slowly
