Buddy Miller Watching Amy Dance Lyrics

As you journey down the road my friend
You'll see sights you don't want to see
I saw one about a year ago
When my wife walked out on me
I didn't care so much about the junk she took
It wasn't worth a second glance
Right now I'd give anything

If I could see my little girl dance
See I've always been a traveling man
I still do get around
And it's true I knew a girl or two
When I was out of town
But they all add up to nothing
In this world of cheap romance

And I'd trade them all for one short hour
She'd run round and round in circles and
Clap her little hands
It's a memory that keeps haunting me Wish I could see my Amy dance
Wish I could my little girl dance

My Mom and Dad are gone rest their souls
My brother is far away
And the way I thought it would all turn out
And where I am today

Lord I know I don't deserve no favors
Please grant me one more chance
Just to spend an hour or two watching Amy dance
She'd run round and round in circles and
Clap her little hands

It's a memory that keeps haunting me
Wish I could see my Amy dance
Wish I could my little girl dance

It all adds up to nothing
In this world of cheap romance
And I'd trade them all for one short hour
