Back To The Simple Things - ESP 368
by Tom Miller

Opener

Circle to the left,
It's so easy to get all caught up in the fast pace of this modern age.
Do an allemande left your corner, turn your partner right, Allemande left and weave the ring,
It makes me wonder if we're making progress,
Swing the lady and promenade,
So pardon me now,  while I make my way, back to the simple things.


Figure

All the heads square thru in the middle and go now 4, Dosido that corner one, Swing thru and then, Boys run right, Bend the line, and do the right and thru, You Pass the ocean, Recycle round the ring, Swing that corner lady there and promenade.
So pardon me now,  while I make my way, back to the simple things.


Break

Circle to the left,
And if you call me, I may not answer, might not get back to you for quite awhile,
Do an allemande left your corner, turn your partner by the right, Allemande left and weave the ring,
Hey, I'll be fishing with my family, cause livin' in the moments, more my style,
So pardon me now,  while I make my way, back to the simple things.

Figure

All the Sides square thru in the middle and go now 4, Dosido that corner one, Swing thru and then, Boys run right, Bend the line, and do the right and thru, You Pass the ocean, Recycle round the ring, Swing that corner lady there and promenade.
So pardon me now,  while I make my way, back to the simple things.

Ending

Circle to the left,
Tonight I'm turning off the TV, watch the stars out for a change,
Do an allemande left your corner, turn your partner by the right, Allemande left and weave the ring,
Sit on the front porch with my baby, rockin' the night away,
So pardon me now,  while I make my way, back to the simple things.
