[Verse 1]
There's [C]nothin' like
cornmeal on a dance- hall [G]floor [C]for dancin' the night awa[G]y,
Slippin' and [D]slidin',
[G]effortlessly gli[D]din' in [G]the arms of my sweet Lillie Ma[D]e,[C]
So I shined up my boots and ironed my shirt,
[G]and[C] pulled on some new blue jea[G]ns.
Oh, I brushed off my [D]hat,
[G]sli[D]cke[G]d back my hair; [D]I'll b[G]eat[D] all [G]that she's ever seen[C].[G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
There's [D]nothin' like listenin'
to the [G]fiddles play
While [D]doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.
There's [D]nothin' to keep you
from [G]driftin' [D]away,
Doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.

[Verse 3]
[C]Way out on Ranch Road 17 there's
a dance hall in the live- oak [G]trees,
Yellow lights strung up all around,
[Dm]so a[G]ll t[Dm]he litt[G]le kids can see.[C]
Pickups are parked near to the road; the
beer is so cold it might [G]freeze.
Stars are all out, the band's in tune,
and it smells like a barbecue [C]breeze.

[Verse 4]
There's [D]nothin' like listenin'
to the [G]fiddles play
While [D]doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.
There's [D]nothin' to keep you
from [G]driftin' [C]away,
[D]Doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.

[Verse 5]
[C]Beat- up old Stetsons, beehive hair,
belt buckles bumpin' in [G]time.
There's little girls dancin' [D]on [G]their daddies' toes,
spinnin' around on [C]a dime.
Grandma and Grandpa are out on the floor,
dancin' like they've lost their [G]minds.
There's old maids and bachelors and sweethearts alike,
all movin' in three- quarter [C]time.

[Verse 6]
There's [D]nothin' like listenin'
to the [G]fiddles play
While [D]doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.
There's [D]nothin' to keep
you from [G]driftin' away,
Just [D]doin' the cornmeal [G]waltz.
