Just To Celebrate Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker

Would you like to know why I feel like dancin'
Well, I feel like I got a brand new lease on life
I got my baby with me, she didn't up and quit me
So we're out here dancin' just to celebrate

Things have been a little strained at our house lately
But we feel like we've made it through the roughest part
We always go out dancin' when we need some new romancin'
So we're out here dancin' just to celebrate

Oh, this life can be taxing, but dancin's so relaxing
And we get in to laughing when we're whirling around the floor

So, boys, play a two-stepper, we'll do the steppin'
If you will make it swing, we'll glide across the floor
A blue denim couple, swaying buckle to buckle
Out here dancin' just to celebrate

Yeah, we'd like a Bob Wills ditty, or maybe one by Conway Twitty
Ah, man you look so pretty wrapped up in daddy's arms

After dancin' all night long with here head on my shoulder
It's time to waltz her home and lay my baby down
With the melody ringing, I hear her softly singing
We've been out here dancin' just to celebrate
