Texas Two Step
Dancing through Lone Star Nights: Zach Meadows' Texas Two Step Meaning
Lyrics
Texas Two Step
Expression of the dance style "Texas Two Step"
By Zach Meadows
Attribution of the song to Zach Meadows
Outside of Austin, singing me a lone star lullaby
Setting the scene outside Austin, evoking a comforting Texas vibe
She comes calling, ringing like a record on its B side
A woman approaching, capturing attention like the lesser-known side of a record
She's buzzing off these neon covered walls
Feeling excited and stimulated by the lively, colorful surroundings
Take an honest chance, it's only one dance after all
Encouragement to take a risk and enjoy a dance as it's just a single opportunity
Well I don't mind a little waltzing, a little rhythm for my blues
Expressing openness to various dance styles to alleviate personal sadness
I'm tired of talking, darling I've got on my dancing shoes
Expressing weariness with conversation and a readiness to dance
And the night's crawling up the feet of closing time
Describing the progression of the night as it nears its end
I ain't ever learned to Two Step, but it ain't too late to try
Despite not knowing how to Two Step, expressing a willingness to learn
And I swear to last call, when I heard the universal sound
Reacting to the sound of the last call by engaging in energetic movement
I got to moving like my youth was running out on me
Moving fervently, feeling a sense of urgency as if time is slipping away
The spotlights on the hardwood
Referring to the focused lights on the dance floor, emphasizing attention on a specific person
They're shining offa you like what you got to lose
Implying that the person being illuminated has nothing to lose by joining in the dance
Well I don't mind a little waltzing, a little rhythm for my blues
Reiterating the desire for varied dance styles to alleviate personal sadness
I'm tired of talking, darling I've got on my dancing shoes
Continuing weariness with conversation and readiness to dance
And the night's crawling up the feet of closing time
Reflecting on the passage of time as the night draws to a close
I ain't ever learned to Two Step, but it ain't too late to try
Reaffirming the willingness to learn the Two Step despite not knowing it yet
Well I don't mind a little waltzing, a little rhythm for my blues
Expressing openness to varied dance styles again to ease personal sadness
I'm tired of talking, darling I've got on my dancing shoes
Reiterating weariness with conversation and readiness to dance
And the night's crawling up the feet of closing time
Describing the progression of the night towards its end once more
I ain't ever learned to Two Step, but it ain't too late to try
Stating the willingness to learn the Two Step even though it hasn't been learned yet
