Dancin' On (a Bandcamp exclusive)

about

A Bandcamp exclusive!
A brand new single from Dean Owens & The Southerners. Not only does it feature Tom Collison and Jim Maving (The Southerners), it also features Amy Geddes on fiddle and our very special guest Will Kimbrough.

It’s a fun song, very much in the classic Pub Rock tradition of the likes of The Faces and Brinsley Schwarz. Recorded long distance with everyone during lockdown.

I hope you’ll enjoy this rare bit of non misery from yours truly!

lyrics

Every Saturday night
It’s off to the club with the wife
Meet Rab and Gracey
See friendly faces

Everyone knows who they are
Just one big family there
The women play bingo
The men all hang out at the bar

Hoping they win, hoping they win

Sometimes life’s a struggle
But come Saturday night
They forget all their troubles
Everything is alright

They just keep dancing on

Some say I look like my old man
He helped to make me who I am
There’s nothing better than sitting together
At the game

Hoping we win, hoping we win

But win or get murdered
Come Saturday night
He’ll be out with my mother
Dancing holding her tight

They just keep dancing on
Keep dancing on
