Own Heart's Delight
By Ian Tyson ASCA P
Slick Fork Music -- CAPAC
There's a light in the kitchen
As I cross the valley and head her on into the
yard
My wife is watching from that light in the
kitchen
As I cross that old cattle guard
I unload my horses -- Two Bits and Roanie
And throw them a few Fakes of hay
My wife comes to meet me with that
determined look
The first thing that I heard her say
Chorus:
Darlin' we haven't gone dancing
For such a long time now
It's been so long since we twirled around the
dance floor
I've almost forgotten how
So gas up the pick-up
I'll bring the babies
They'll stay with the neighbors tonight
If the band at the bar
Can play waltzes and shuffles
I'm gonna dance with my own heart's delight
So I drank a cold one
I sang in the shower
I pondered upon marriage and such
They say this country was hell on horses and
women
I guess it ain't changed all that much
We make a good team my lady and I
I couldn't ask for anything more
If you don't believe me
Just catch us tonight
We'll be the best dancers out on that floor
Repeat Chorus
