Reelin' and Rockin'
Rollin' and Reelin': A Dance through Life's Rhythms with Conway Twitty
Lyrics
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Sometimes, I am uncertain about engaging in a particular action, and at other times, I consider not doing it.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
This uncertainty or hesitation repeats, indicating inner conflict or indecision.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don't.
Expressing a similar ambivalence, sometimes doing something and other times thinking of refraining from it.

Participating in a lively rock 'n' roll dance, enjoying the moment.
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
The participants are energetically rolling, reeling, and rocking on the dance floor.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn.
Continuing the enthusiastic dancing until the break of dawn.

There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you.

And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me.
Highlighting the synchronized and harmonious dancing with a partner.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Repeating the theme of energetic and rhythmic dancing.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine fifty-four,
Time check at 9:54, urging a ballerina-like girl to dance enthusiastically.
I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go!"
Encouraging a dance partner to continue the lively and enjoyable dance.
We were rollin, reelin' and a-rockin'.
Reaffirming the energetic and rollicking atmosphere of the dance.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten o-five,
Time check at 10:05, expressing a disoriented state but still engaged in the dance.
Man, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive!
Despite confusion, the narrator is actively participating in the energetic dance.
But I was rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'.

Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-six,
Time check at 10:26, determined to keep dancing and enjoying the moment.
But I'm a keep on dancin' till I got my kicks!
A commitment to dance until personal satisfaction or "kicks" are achieved.

Time check at 10:28, expressing urgency to get personal enjoyment from the dance.
I gotta get my kicks before it gets too late!
Emphasizing the need to seek pleasure before it becomes too late.

Reiterating the ongoing energetic dance, emphasizing the urgency.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-nine,
Time check at 10:29, a moment of connection as hands are held during the dance.
I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin' mine!
Highlighting the continued enjoyment of the dance with a partner.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Reiteration of the lively and rhythmic dancing.
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
Time check leading to a surprising realization of dancing with a larger woman.
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
Despite the surprise, the enjoyment of the dance continues.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Reaffirmation of the energetic and rollicking nature of the dance.
Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go,
Time check, indicating the end of the dance as announced by the band leader.

The realization that the dance is concluding, and it's time to stop.
We were reelin', reelin', and a-rockin'
Final repetition of the energetic and lively atmosphere of the dance, now coming to an end.
